The Museum

Welcome to this place,
Also known as my heart.
Stay awhile and have a walkabout,
A look around as you
Psychoanalyze what you see --
Do let me know your conclusions.
(That is, if you come to any)

Look, but don’t touch.
If you break it you bought it.
Keepsakes will cost you and
Trophies are not for sale.
Don’t bother to ask why --
You probably won’t be told
(Tho, exceptions aren’t unheard of)

I see your secret satisfaction,
Thinking you’ve actually stumbled
Upon a treasure hitherto unnoticed;
Though in my mind I see no such thing,
Rather only a broken piece --
A long forgotten fragment
(From a time when I actually cared)

Stealing souvenirs will not be tolerated.
As stated before, what’s in here stays here;
And no, I’m afraid you can’t move in
No matter how much you like the view.
Room only for one, and that spot’s long been taken --
So enjoy the tour, and do leave your feedback
(So I can know what not to do next time)

As you’ve noticed, admission is free,
Though donations are appreciated.
Call it charity or what have you, I don’t mind.
The guest book is in the corner
If you’d like to tickle my ears with trivialities --
Something to make me smile.
(And feel like maybe I was worth your time)

Thanks for stopping by,
I hope you enjoyed your visit.
Visiting hours are limited,
So be sure to call to see if I’m open.
Thank you and goodnight.
