Heart is a House

WICKED
dilapidated
empty house
gone silver with time
there a few sounds
so dead and hollow

NOTHING

nothing at all

you'll find it is locked
the keys have been lost for years
all doors
all windows

LOCKED

are the all locked tight?

superstition brushing his skin
his attempt to reach her
knocking on the door of
a place outside the world

she is
not answering
gave up
on love
a house locked tight

KNOCK KNOCK
who is there?


...he doesn't care
to give up on her
