Cupid's arrow split apart
the rib cage that protects my heart
making room for you to fit
perfectly inside of it
stretching out, you make your home
scratching surface, bending bone
making sure that love gets in
holding fast through thick or thin
erasing memory, the brain's hard drive
deleting all that use to thrive
in the gray recesses there
inserted hope to answered prayer
the rib cage that protects my heart
making room for you to fit
perfectly inside of it
stretching out, you make your home
scratching surface, bending bone
making sure that love gets in
holding fast through thick or thin
erasing memory, the brain's hard drive
deleting all that use to thrive
in the gray recesses there
inserted hope to answered prayer
