Crazy Heart

It's a sorry mind
That falls from the sky
Upside down and half blind,

Bleary eyes tell tears
Not where to go but why,
How they came to be here.

Being from a rental shelter,
Habitations made with cubes
All stacked row by row renters.

City domiciles duplex'd forever
Subsisting children excepted groups
But for the rarest, be severed.

So forgive my crazy sided heart,
It's not for less than want of love
That serious gift not all are given a part.
