Heart Keeping, House Breaking

Throat aches, scrubbing this empty home

Avoiding thoughts of been alone

Dirty sheets and broken glass

Scattered fractions of the past

Lead weight heavy in a mortal coil

Pack up my bags, get rid of the foil

Bitter taste of broken dreams

Emotions bursting at the seams

Cutting deep beneath elastic flesh

Sweet romance has died a death

Boaring, searing beneath the core

Plates in the cupboard, shut that door

Organs squeezing, tightly clenched

Serrated tissue, some hearts been wrenched

Open the curtains and let it breathe

Cleanings over, it’s time to leave
