Resilient

Resilient

I refuse to fall.

No, my darling, I won't go down. 
You're still standing and so shall I 
Remain firm.
You haven't asked for my heart

And so I keep it locked tight
Though I can feel it beating wildly
Trying to escape from these walls I've built.
No, it won't come out.
You have the key, but do you realize it?
Did you know that with a simple phrase
An admission of the feelings you hide so well
That the door will swing open and 
My heart will run to you.
But you don't turn the key
You keep it in a dark dusty corner 
And forget that it's there
So my heart stays where it is
And I stay silent.
