Room for Two

i wish my heart had room for two
a big open space like the sunroom
i wish my heart was beautiful
untouched, unscratched, unbreakable
i wish
but it takes some time to pull the weeds from the roots
and fish old love notes from between the books
so it’ll take some time to make room for two
i wish i was as green as iceland
a sunny field splashed in lilacs
i wish i was smart enough
to take the good out of the bad
i wish
but it takes some time to see the wolf in the woods
and kill the pain that’s slowly killing your tooth
so it’ll take some time to make room for two
it takes some time for roses to reach the roof
and squeeze that last best bit out of the tube
it takes some time to make room for two
it’ll take some time
it’ll take some time
but i’ll try to
