Looking into my heart I find you
Hidden in the inner depths true.
Earthly virtues block your view
The time lock clicks back anew.
Behold I see you walk the beaches
Dazzle free love defined speeches
There melts the vault, the leaches
Freedom in my core my soul preaches.
I now know your were then under lock
Today I the jailer, open the moon clock.
Author notes
Prompt : "It's about realizing, painfully, you've kept that voice inside yourself, locked away from even yourself. And you step back and see that your jailer has changed faces. You realize you've become your own jailer." Tori Amos
