The Shelves of Our Hearts

Broken toys hopeless dreams shattered snow globes ripping seams Empty lockets burnt out lights rusting metal flightless kites Here on these shelves, a small corner of our hearts, sit the unwanted items and the lonely broken parts, But, to make room for more these shelves are to be clean maybe we can fill them, with the pleasant things we've seen.
