Heat Lamp

Beside myself
Upon your shelf
Inside a jar
Is where I dwell

Come take me down
Unscrew my lid
Dissect my life
Tell me how I did

Holding back
Has only hurt
The safest ear
For my concerns

Knowing that
I'm warming up
Your eyes like a heat lamp

For my heart
Yearning to explore the uncharted
Wrought with demand
For architectural plans

Frame up the walls
Pack up the moving van
Inside my house
All made of glass
I hope you see
I'm learning fast

Holding back
Has only hurt
The safest ear
For my concerns

Knowing that
I'm warming up
Your eyes like a heat lamp
For my heart
Yearning to explore the uncharted
