I Lost My Heart Today
By Paul Wilson


I lost my heart today
could you please help me find it
I’ve looked everywhere
at least twice… I admit

The glow that filled my life
has left without a trace
Where happiness use too be
sorrow now takes it’s place

I’ve looked high and low
searching throughout the day
Where could my heart be
why did it run away?

Teardrops stain the pillow
where your head use to lay
Your name echo’s off the walls
twenty four hours a day

I looked back into yesterday
praying for a clue I might find
I visited all the old places
we shared when you were mine

There’s only one more place
too look… for my lost heart
A place I forgot about
since we’ve been apart

A box where I keep
everything special too me
This special box I have
but you have the key

~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~
Paul

This poem brought a tender feel to me and
a slight bit of sadness...a good thing.  

You seem to be working hard on your rhyming
and putting the lines together.  One thing
you can do that will help you begin to write
with more unique rhyme is to us a rhyming
dictionary/thesaurus to help with the words
you pick to rhyme from....RhymeZone has a
good one that you can put with your favorites
and go to whenever you want to.  It helps me
often.  We are all learning...trust me,  I
know very well....

Your poem is great! It portrays a sence of sadness that I wish no one had to feel, but if no one felt this, then no one could be happy. Good job!!
