Rent a Broken Heart

Would you pay rent to live in a 
broken heart, where the plumbing
is bleeding, and the heating is not 
working. The kitchen is sparce and
hungers for company, the bedroom
is lonely and cold and only one
pillow. The colours are dark with no
feeling of light, where night could 
be day and day could be night.

Would you pay rent to live in a
broken heart, not as a rule, Hmm!
maybe a fool. But with bricks, 
some magic tricks, string and 
candle wax, paint the walls and 
seal the cracks. With the outside
sun and rosy, make the inside
nice and cosy. No not the fool
must have hope, and with help I
shall cope.
