Emotion is like a large home

Emotion is a like a large home

And I don’t seem to have the right key to leave

These breaths don’t feel like my own

And I can hear my own heart beat

Long hallways marked with empty rooms

And yet I stay in the same one

Feelings are uncharted

And I don’t want to make a map

I get tired of reading the same old pages

And the rest of the book is empty

The walls are full of words

And I repeat them daily

I speak so much truth

And all that I hear are lies

Emotion is like a large home

And it’s empty and I’m alone

Wondering aimlessly through the dark hallways

And I can’t find the right room

Somewhere in this house is love

And all I find is regret

The days draw closer

And the nights draw colder

I’m lost in this house

And I see no way out

I have so many doors

And not enough keys

If I did would I even open the doors

And begin to feel mores
