My Lost Heart

 I'm in a quandary- I really, really am

I've misplaced my precious heart

Somewhere in vast desert sand

And now I don't know where I stand


It used to live so peacefully 

Within me, so safe and sound

I don't know what madness entered

I took it out, made it play around

 

Poor Heart! You could hardly bear

Vagaries of a cruel world

You tried and tried and tried so long

To learn the ropes, fit in and twirl

 

Alas! Alas! It was not to be

Your orientation all wrong

And then you just disappeared

Left behind your meloncholy song

 

So I wander aimless, ghost-like

Phantasm roaming among you

Carrying life in death inside

Uncertain what I should do.
