The Key

Burning vodka

Slowly warmed my body

Giving me the feeling of

Invincibility

For my purpose here

To take back once was originally mine

That's not reality

Reality is the moldy room

Full of alcohol and cologne

Music pounding death notes

Drinks pouring away sweet innocence


Hot sweat engulfing me

Like a fuzzy blanket

I wanted to kick it off

But it surrounded me

Like I was trapped in a sauna

There was no escape

Not until I got what I came for

What I need

The key


Sweltering heat

Only made me hotter

Letting the sweat drip in my eyes

Blurring the view

Of the overcrowded dance floor

Where no one has any morals

Where two people

Merge into one

No one will remember

The blank faces

The dance moves


My mission was the backroom

Normally for one night lovers

Not business meetings

Between old lovers

Once familiar with each other

Now strangers passing through the shadows

Through the clanked glass beads

In the dreaded room

There is was

Laying on the cracked leather

Where you should have been

Vine covering the delicate key

The Key to my heart
