But My Heart is an Old House

But my heart is an old house
(the kind my mother
grew up in)
hell to heat and cool
and faulty in the wiring
and though it’s nice to look at
I have no business
inviting lovers in.

I almost didn't post it, as I was slightly annoyed at myself when I saw it. I wrote an incredibly similar poem, both in theme and metaphor, that I particularly like. This one was just too good though.
