Locked is a room in the back of the house
No one goes in
No one comes out
The door has been shut
And locked from within
For what it has taken cannot live again
The frame is frayed
The knob lost its shine
It hasn’t seen anyone in a while who is kind
It lies in wait
Its secrets are kept
For those who’ve gone in have never left
They say it’ll feel better
If only you can see
That opening the door isn’t as bad as it seems
But what lies within
Isn’t safe to come out
It’s better for the world to never find out
So the room lies in wait
For the next one to pass
Hoping this time it will be the last
