Homeless

 

By Wana Udobang

I wonder if hearts need a home

I wonder if they are built like vagabonds

I wonder if hearts can weather storms

I wonder if they can ride big waves

My heart is brittle from the cold outside your door

My heart yearns for the warmth of your home

A poet once said

“That you cannot make homes out of human beings, someone should have told you that”

My heart needs a home
