The Key

I'll give you a key to a magical box
But I'm not going to tell you how it unlocks
It's padlocked and lined inside with lead
With wires controlling the thoughts in my head

So cherish it dearly with all your heart
To solve the puzzle that's the start
I'm counting on you, don't let me down
To be my saviour and not my clown

Many have tried but few succeeded
They couldn't give me what I needed
With only words of love for me
Not backed by actions that I could see

Please be the one to finally win
To crack the code that will let you in
The journey's hard and can be long
But it's worth the wait if you can stay strong

Once you've found the secret of the lock
The key will turn and with a gentle knock
The lid of the box will slowly part
And lying inside is my tender heart
