Love Is a House

We built a house, piece by piece
One wall pink, another blue, another green
We grew a garden of yellow smiling sunflowers
A white Pickett fence secures the lawn

But the house did not last
The walls fell, the paint crackled
The sunflowers lay their heads down and wept
Vulnerability draped as curtains

The house has fallen
Trying to pick up the pieces...rebuilding
The screaming wind acts as a thief
Stealing every memory...every joyful memory

Love is a house, continuously being built
But the avalanche has hit
I am worn
