#given away

i gave u away

Footsteps stumble,

Heart crumbles,

As if it was only dust

In the first place,

Born of rust

From too much rain

On my metal frame.

You know as well as I,

I am not good at hiding the truth,

And I said my heart was crumbled,

But it was given away

For safe keeping;

I couldn’t be trusted with it anymore,

And my empty space

Is still sore.

But I am iron and strong,

So you once said,

Sometimes I know you were wrong,

Were I that, truly,

I would not have to trust my heart

To another,

Kero-Heat CV- 2230 kerosene heater

Never used - bought during one of the many power outage scares that happen in winter in the Midwest. We just never used it yet.

We have a 5+gal gas can that has a good 2-3 gals in it, unfortunately been sitting unused as well a couple of years now. (Bought at Walmart new, they didn't have the kerosene marked one in stock at the time). It's kind of leaky around the spout when you tip it to use it, so it's just storing the kerosene.

The heater has some kerosene in it, we had it all prepped for use, then didn't need it, and now it's been setting for a couple years.

Has a battery lighting switch - we never put the batteries in it so that's all clean. It can be lit manually.

At worst the heater may be a little dusty from sitting in the inside back porch, but its never been out in the weather, so its otherwise great condition, i'd say.

Much better to share

Scatter seeds everywhere

Fill the world with flowers
