This heart makes room
for those without place
find a chair
a bed
some peace
some space
my heart’s your home
make it sweet
inside my heart
not at my feet

This heart makes room
come and hide
at the heart of my soul
not by my side
my heart is warm
a fireplace
come abide in me
beneath my gaze
it’s quiet here
within my chest
come now
come sleep
find your rest

I am that memory
you try to leave behind
I am what you almost forget
I rewind my eye
and stare back
I am that blink you can’t bare
and regret

I didn’t say what I needed to say
I said what I wanted

you couldn’t have wished for more
when her touch is softer than her kiss

you couldn’t have wished for more
when her smile is as sweet as her sigh

you couldn’t have wished for more
when her cheeks are as warm as your chest

you couldn’t have wished for more
than when her laugh is freer than her cry

you couldn’t have wished for more
than her arms stretched wider than your rest
