My body was a vacant house
I had been gutted and left for the dust to settle
In my icy furnace lived memories of past suitors to these old bones
None ever appreciated the delicate architecture
Carved in the corners of my mind
They would move in their furniture and their ***** laundry
Staining the rich wood in my veins to their desired tint
Slowly my home became theirs and I was just a visitor
Walking through myself
Seeing exactly what you wanted me to be
Nevertheless like the enviable changing of the tide
I would be gutted time and time again
left with the smells of their perfumes
Still lingering in my empty rooms
They would say that my walls weren't warm enough,
That too often my water would turn to wine
And would stain all their ***** laundry in the wash
This sacred change wasn't because i was holy
It happened because it would seem that at times
The only way to warm the rooms inside of my belly
Was to drown myself in it
The moment you walked in i was an open book
That you had not read
You cleaned the cobwebs from the corners of my soul
And gave me the keys to my own home
Allowed me to breath for the first time in years
The hallways of my body began to creak
The most joyous of hymns

You held me like a handgrenade
Afraid that when you have to finally let go
All that we have built would turn to dust
But darling I will take the rains
I will clench myself tight
Letting every crease in my quivering hand be a memory
The rise in me knuckle become the mountains that we have scaled together
The dry skin falls like the bottles of wine that fill the river of our love
I will leave you with the castles we have build so you will have shelter
And I will find bliss every time I feel the tension on my fingers

The house has been built
but the furniture is yet to be set
plants haven't been planted
the home needs a new lock and key
but you should see it
what a beautiful home we have built
our love has created spiral staircases
stained glass depicting the way i fell for you
if only we had met
when our *** was fully furnished
i would have given you the key

You are beautiful
the way you support the world under your feet
the atoms of the universe run through your veins
you are a cosmic force
swallowing all the minds you come in contact with
I was swallowed long ago
and now i comfortably reside in your lovely eyes
