In Your Heart

In your heart
is there room for her?

You move things,
make way for her,

push feelings to one side
so that she can have

an area in your heart.
You put to one end

old loves, past girlfriends
and like Dante's Paradise

you let light in
to block out

the dismal darkness
from her sad disquiet

and private hell.
You have made room

for her in your heart,
she needs it poor girl.
