Please make room for me
It could be bare, a hard cold floor to sleep on
It could be filled with blankets and warmth
I would take either with a heartbeat

Please make room for me
I can live in isolation forever more
Or you can stuff me into a room where you hold many others
I would appreciate the love

Please make room for me
It can be in the darkest space where no one has traveled
It could be the brightest room ever made
My eyes will adjust

Please make room for me
I can handle the sea of sadness
Where your loved ones still stay
I will keep them company, don't you worry

Please make room for me
I can handle the sun when you laugh
The vibration in your chest
Like the most poetic earthquake

Please make room for me
I've watched you for many years
And wondered to myself
Why you have not wanted me to live with you

Please make room for me
Stick me in a quarter
Whichever you like
I will be happy

Please make room for me
If you have the space
I will fit somewhere
I will fit anywhere
So please make room for me
Somewhere, anywhere
In your heart
