The house of your heart stands empty
when once it was filled with love
now it is unrecognisable
a mere shadow of its former glory
After a hateful break up there was an explosion
killing almost all inside
those that survived have long since fled
and none have crossed the threshold since
The door is barely hanging on a single hinge
the windows have all caved in
there is a huge hole where most of the roof should be
exposing charred and rotting beams
You don't know how to repair it
and no one wants to assist
they cross the road whenever they approach
so they don't have to be anywhere near
The house of your heart stands empty
only hate could survive inside
nailed to the frame is a rotting sign
saying "love will never live here again"
