11:27 pm
the rooms in my heart
make up much of the walls of my chest
the valves like an elevator shaft
through the veins that are electrical outlets
this building houses many guests
some designated for a lifetime
some like hotel rooms, they rent and depart
sadness has a room
he comes and goes
at times he rents this room for a month
others he leaves and returns in days
sadness is never a guest whose presence i enjoy
i wish to kick him out
fear has a room
what i hate the most
is he never seems to depart
the walls are thin and his voice echos
through the valves
i wish to tear these walls down
for he keeps me up at night with his stammering
the biggest room in this heart
that kicks out sadness
and breaks down fear's walls
belongs to you
full time resident
this is the hardest part of my heart
for i know it is forever
