The Image & The Key

[Alexia]

I have an image in my mind,
Of what it is I want.
But somehow when I think of it,
The image isn’t clear.

I close my eyes and wonder,
What is true love really like?
They said it would come soon
And I would know it when it did.

Now years have passed me by so quick.
And still that image is unclear.
I wonder what they meant by soon.
For I still sit here all alone.

I had something I once called love.
I thought it was for real.
Yet when he closed the door on it,
I closed my heart in fear.

I know I have the key somewhere,
I just can’t remember now.
It’s been a while though,
Since that image has been near.

I’m going to stop my wondering,
And open up my eyes.
For maybe this will help me
Find the key and make things clear.
