Garage sale

Boring Saturday afternoon when
I walked around without a thought.
There is this old weird chest I’ve found.
Inside there by surprise a still beating heart.
Oh, my heart you old friend. Still alive?
What a waste just lying around.

Let’s just make a sign.

For sale, for rent, a heart is available,
Only if you need it.
And with it, you’ll get a whole life.
For sale, for rent, a heart is available,
No one lives in it anymore.
Go ahead, take it, I’ll give it to you cheaply,
Now you can buy it for a kind word.

Silence has long lived in it,
Dust covered hidden treasure.
It needs a new tenant so badly.
The old one believed to have it
For granted.
They will never again
See it shine.

For a bit of love and maintenance,
It can make you happy.
It’s cozy, peaceful and inviting.

For sale, for rent, a heart is available,
No one has lived in it for a long time.
Go ahead, take it, I’ll give it to you cheaply,
Now you can buy it for a kind word
