Inside her Ribcage City

Recommended Posts

Inside her ribcage city,

Lies an abandoned heart hotel,

Haunted with the memories of a time it once knew well,

If you are quite,

You can hear the closing doors,

The forgotten conversations,

And the footsteps on the floor,

It was opened many years ago,

When she was still young and naive,

Believing if she gave enough,

She will eventually receive,

Each day she cleaned and cooked,

To ensure comforts for her guests,

But as people kept arriving,

It grew heavy in her chest,

Eventually to hear herself, she almost had to shout,

Over the people that once moved in and never moved out...

Although they'd faded from her life,

Their memories roamed the walls,

For she was so afraid of heart break,

That she clung onto them all...

But hotels aren't design for everyone who comes, to stay,

And when you keep cramming people in,

Something is going to give way...

And so the story goes,

Her heart hotel slowly closed down,

She learnt to let things go,

And moved to a nicer town, that she's doing so much better,

And she owns a cottage now,

Where the ones she loves dearest are the only guests she will allow...
