Lost and Found

Discovering a heart in the lost and found He put it in his pocket Took it home and carefully placed it In a silver locket Around his neck is where it hung Oh what a lucky find A lonely heart to hang with his Together kept perfect time When one day a cry went out A voice of such distress Description of the heart he found He became, deeply depressed The love he'd found he couldn't keep It belonged to someone else Now empty locket and his heart Were both back on the shelf Distraught with sadness everyday How hollow he'd become His locket tarnished and turned black Poor heart was cold and numb His days grew long, he couldn't sleep Just sit all night and cry Until the day their time ran out Then both just up and died Feb 5 2016 an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner
