27: home

23 1 2
                                    

who will you be to me?
will you make a home in my heart
then proceed
to burn it on your way out?

will you trash the place
knocking the chairs and tables
to the floor
and break the windows and glasses
then clean it all up
and pretend like nothing happened?

or will you be the one
to put your feet up
light a candle
hang a picture
and make the bed?

will you make my heart a home
or a bomb shelter?

third love
