I left my heart in your hands today
It wanted to play hide-and-seek.
And hide it well, you did.
I haven't found it for four weeks.
I've felt it. Yes! I have,
every time you come around.
But then, when you go away
I cannot hear its sound.
Where have you put it?
Where must I go?
I'm alone and confused!
Please come back,
please come back,
for, your heart I must use.
It wanted to play hide-and-seek.
And hide it well, you did.
I haven't found it for four weeks.
I've felt it. Yes! I have,
every time you come around.
But then, when you go away
I cannot hear its sound.
Where have you put it?
Where must I go?
I'm alone and confused!
Please come back,
please come back,
for, your heart I must use.
Author notes
For the contest "I Left My Heart In _____". I used great metaphor here, to say I left my heart in my Loves hands. In truth, it's supposed to be about a place you've visited, or want to visit, but they said they liked metaphors, so here it is. sorry If I've wasted your time, and this does not belong in the contest.
