My Heart's Eviction Notice

I’m giving you two weeks’ notice And then I’m evicting you From my heart You haven’t been paying your dues… Lingering caresses Entwining embraces Passion laden kisses And loving whispers Are overdue LONG overdue What’s worse… You’ve been trashing the premises With your careless words dirty excuses filthy put-downs... Your childish tantrums And misplaced anger Have littered my heart You have been bringing in Uninvited guests To share the night Thinking I was unaware Of the trysts But this place is meant for you YOU Alone There has been too much Way too much Wear and tear And so I declare You are being evicted Pack up your things And find another Heart to live in! I need some time To set things right To make repairs... The love paint needs to dry The dream frames need to be hung The soiled sheets need to be purified I need to sew new curtains of hope And wash away the grime from the windows of my heart Before I can even consider Taking in a new resident. Two weeks….. Just enough time For you to pay for damages And then to leave Peacefully... Before I have you thrown out of this heart of mine!
