the house of my heart

via pinterest

there are words stuck in my heart

that never make it to my mouth.

somewhere between here and there,

between my courage and fear,

stuck in my throat.

today i stopped and looked around the house of my heart,

and found "dear you"s and "i miss you"s crinkled up.

and today i knew it was time to sweep and clean.

so i scrubbed the floors and sent the dirt out the door.

but i saw a corner of an envelope

peeking from behind the couch.

the letter was one from you,

and it said, "i love you too."

i kept this one.

not quite sure what this one means, but i think it's good. xx
