– Within the Hearth –
My heart is my home,
where my love comes to rest,
but only when you are within me.
You are my shelter now.
You are the place where I come to find myself
standing stoic against the walls of comfort.
I have long since moved away from sadness,
and you now hold the key to the apartments
of my more bitter temperaments;
Lock me in the memory
of more pleasant moments,
and discard the remnants
of that damaged past.
