Bread Crumbs

my heart's a bakery out of business
with heartaches like moldy loaves of bread 
overflowing it's chambers and shelves

your curious like the proverbial cat
when you walked in, wandered, explored, 
stealing every morning a single loaf

I warned you not to eat it and I was afraid 
for there's no way you can take them all in 
but you were deaf, or stupid, in love 

it made me curious too so i followed you one day
and saw you on the park sitting on a bench 
tossing bread crumbs for the birds (clever!) 

when my heart's chambers and shelves are empty
I thought you wouldn't return again 
but you came carrying a sign "BACK IN BUSINESS" 

you nailed it on my heart with a smile 
and gave me the recipes of everything good 
in love and life.
