Locked Away (with audio)

I’ve realised I’ve packed a part of myself away 
(again) 
I put it in a box marked dangerous
tucked it into the basement

It’s the sensual side I hide 
the flesh in me that craves pleasure 
allows me to embrace desire and being desired

I’ve realised too late what I’ve done 
the lock is rusting 
corroded by a legacy of guilt 
and being taught to contain my wild nature

No one else can open that part of me 
(sigh) 
It takes determination to strip away the retrains 
but I will try 
because I know what treasures 
I’ve locked away
