My Heart is for Rent.

My heart is for rent.

Holding a space for one.

And do not tell me that you can't

 

In here is home

Comfort and solace

Like tiny shells being washed by seafoam

 

It is a place for you

And you alone

The only acceptable who in this world of who's who

 

But maybe one is not enough

Oh my dear you are right

A space for another, no not a bluff

 

My heart is for rent.

It holds space now for two.

It holds one for you,

The other one for me.

 

Because it is cliche

How can you love another,

If you cannot love yourself.
