5. The Key

He gave her the key to his heart
and she walked right in and
made herself at home,
helped herself to what was in the
refrigerator and
tossed her clothes on the floor.

He gave her the key to his heart
and she walked right in.

His mother always kept it tidy. Now
he can't find anything. She walked right in
and made herself at home.

The days are longer but
a gloomy rain has settled in earnest.
She made herself at home and
he doesn't know how to ask her to go.
