On the hearth
there is a fireplace
it has a pile of chopped logs,
coals,
torn up pieces of newspaper
awaiting their burnt endings
On the hearth
a fire burns
flickering and crackling
They say I'm too young to know what love is,
Too quick to believe in forever and kisses.
They roll their eyes when I speak from my chest,
As if my heart's too small to feel this mess.
