If home is where the heart is And you find yourself on the streets I’d be glad to break my heart in half So that you could have a piece
I’ll give you my whole guest room It’s down the hall from my arteries I’ll give you food and oxygen Even take a house key if you need
I hope that you enjoy your stay And accept my offerings I don’t care when or where you go Just so long as you don’t leave
My mind is a repulsive place You might be better off on the street Than swimming through my synapses And believing what you see
The world outside my beating heart Is more dangerous than you think So please leave good enough alone And promise not to leave
Finding out the truth about Who I claim to be Could end up being worse for you Than it ever was for me
Nevertheless I’d dare to love You are so dear to me But no matter what you’d do or say I would never set you free
My blood type is B negative And no matter what I do I’ll never be an optimist Or anything like you
I’m offering you a part of me So now you have to make A choice to enter my home and take my heart Or choose to let it break
So if I give you this bit of myself I’ll need you to promise me Not to stray too far from home Or ever try to leave
I'm not quite sure what I was going through at the time that I wrote this one, but I had just received a book full of idioms and cliches. It was the perfect writing prompt for me. I'd take a cliche and turn it around like a puzzle piece until the fire of a deeper meaning was ignited in my mind. Anyway, this was me writing about how sometimes we hurt the ones we love most by keeping secrets. My mind is a place I often consider forbidden grounds due to the nature of the thoughts therein. Unfortunately, I often forget that when I follow my heart blindly, I lose sight of what's really important. So, yeah. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't follow your heart without consulting the truth first. In my case- my heart is deceitful above all else and blindly following it will get me nowhere good really quickly. Side note- B-Negative is actually a real blood type! Who knew?
