The new tenant stood by the door of her heart <br />rapped it thrice with his clenched fist. <br />he noticed the cobwebs on the door knob <br />signifying that the old tenant had long gone <br /> <br />A rattle of keys came from within. <br />as the door opened the un-oiled hinges squeaked in protest, <br />for it had been long since they had done this physical exercise <br /> <br />He was shown every room in her heart. <br />he was pained to the very core by the broken furniture, <br />evidence-ing the recklessness of the old tenant. <br />he had left her heart in shambles <br /> <br />Without hesitation, he took out the hammer of faithfulness <br />and expertly repaired every broken leg of trust <br />firmly driving in the nails of assurance <br /> <br />Took out a spanner of comfort from his tools box <br />and began to fix the tap of tears that had been leaking daily - <br />soaking her pillow every night <br /> <br />He vigorously dashed upstairs <br />stripped down every picture of disappointment off the walls of her mind <br />he intoxicated her with an image of his smile <br />dusting away every speck of doubt and took his residence.<br /><br />Itai Oscar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-new-tenant/
