A heart once given

Held for ransom
A heart taken

Held so carelessly


Used



Abused
Crushed into silence
A heart now discarded

Laid to rest
A heart broken

Soldiering on
A heart searching
Other half missing
A heart beating

Within my chest
Other half found

Yet still denied
Love unrequited

This lost love of mine
