if my heart were a house

my house was filled with spiderweb, 
no owner, not even a guest

then you rang the doorbell, once, twice, thrice
you broke in, letting your feet wandered around

there was something that caught your eyes,
a cracked holed wall

"I like this place," you said despite the dust flying around filled your lungs til it's hard to breath

"I like this place," you said regardless the broken wall being an eyesore to your sight

you called an ambulance, 
"please fix this wall"

diamonds, syringes, alcohol, pills, cements 
mixed, stirred, patched, repeat

a day, a week, a month, sleepless nights
mixed, stirred, patched, repeat

"you'll be fixed," you said with a loving tone,
caressing the wall as it started to hardened 

birds chirping by the windows accompanying you every morning and night, singing a love song

a love song about a man who loved an eerie abandoned house in the middle of nowhere

"it'll be just like magic," you reassured the wall before you went to sleep like a routine

you loved the wall more than ever,
or so you thought

what you didn't consider was, old building would always be fragile

one blow and it's back to crack 
two blows and it collapsed

"what the fuck is wrong with this place?"
you were full of rage as you stomped your feet out of the house

leaving the once abandoned, taken cared house back to its place
filled with spiderweb, dust, cracked, holed, abandoned
