Home is Where the Heart Is

When you came into my life,

I didn’t care if you took your shoes off at the door or not

Or if you tracked mud around the carpets

I wanted you to make yourself at home

Help yourself to some snacks

Take a load off

Hang out

Stay

Feel as comfortable being there as I was having you there

But instead

I gave you a spare key to come in and go whenever you wanted

To live here rent free

You didn’t need to sign a lease

Or pay utilities

But you still decided it was too much

I didn't need you to Goldilocks my heart

Trying everything out

Before deciding if it was too hard, too soft, or just right
