Unlatched

The world is locked
Away from me
They aren’t here
To give me the key
I am enclosed
Alone in the wood
One of the survivors
In the neighborhood

But then I felt
The key in my palm
I shivered with fear-
Then I was calm
For now I knew
The world was unlatched
The hole in my heart
Would soon be patched
