The Raven

Key To My Heart

The key to my hearts chamber is that which i've lost,

And my home is where my heart is kept.

However I've fallen victim to a B&E,

Which is has left my ribs shattered,

And my life swarmed with agony.

At first I thought nothing wrong, bar my being physically battered,

But then I saw a truly horrid sight.

At the heart of my home no longer stood my priceless ruby,

Only an onyx, as black as night,

Shimmering coldly in the dim moonlight.

I know that my chances are rather bleak,

But nonetheless I'm off to find the key I seek,

As I saw it carried off to a mountains peak,

Carried off in a ravens beak.
