why should i seek a home within you
just because i've lit my own sanctuary on fire?
shouldn't i build something grand from the ashes?
shouldn't i mend my walls until they're practically impenetrable?
shouldn't i fill every room with love?
love of myself, love of others?
shouldn't i build a tower so tall it reaches the heavens?
shouldn't i make a home within myself?
and if i did all of this, though i'd have no need, would you still allow me to visit yours?
