The Chandelier

I bought a chandelier 
and built a house around it

It was one of a kind
and heavy too
it reminded me of a castle

So I took it home
put it in the attic
because 
there was nowhere to hang it

It had to have space
to hang
It needed room
to be seen

So the house was built
to house 
the chandelier

And now it hangs in the foyer
of my home
And my home 
hangs like the chandelier
over my head
