Welcome to my house
I hope you find it well
I hope that you will feel
It’s a lovely place to dwell

Just don’t peer too long
Into the foggy windows
And don’t go in the attic
Or search for hidden vows

I try my best to polish
The worn and splintered wood
But I can’t hide the rot
Though I thought I could

Maybe you can try
Though I shouldn’t ask
Just enjoy your stay
And don’t look past the mask

Many have tried
To fix my broken house
They came and made it sparkle
But left more termites aroused

The heart is most confusing;
It’s cold then hot in a minute
I beg you, don’t try fixing it
People try then only wreck it

Please find my house comforting
Don’t wander too far
Don’t look too close
Don’t mess with my heart
Enjoy the polish and paint
Please like my splintered house
