#518 IMPRISONED BY GRIEF AND MY KEY
–
THE KEY
Copyright 2018 by Judy Unger
–
After you left I was locked away
In a prison of grief; I cried every day
I couldn’t escape and years went by
I accepted my prison and stopped asking why
–
When I saw the key, I couldn’t believe
The prison doors opened; I could leave
I lost what I loved; grief swallowed me
Until the day I found the key
–
I let myself out; life wasn’t the same
I slowly adjusted, but whispered your name
I tried to forget all I went through
But I never let go of my love for you
–
When I saw the key, I couldn’t believe
The prison doors opened; and I could leave
I never dreamed that I’d be free
But then one day, I found the key
–
When I saw the key, I couldn’t believe
The prison doors opened; I could leave
What I loved most was taken from me
But you came back to give me the key
–

These are my lyrics to “The Key” in progress. I decided to change the part about losing hope into a line about accepting my prison.
