home

hearts are like homes;

they can break

and shatter

and turn to ash,

to nothing.

they can be hollow,

empty.

or full

with regret

and sorrow

and pain

but,

they can also be 

whole

and beautiful;

full of love

and care

and peace

all of this

broken or whole

empty and bitter

or

whole and beautiful

all of this

the choice of its owner.
