Hostage to Love

 

Please return my heart,

Without it I can’t leave.

I looked for it today,

But it wasn’t on my sleeve.

When I last took notice,

You were playing with it.

Now there’s a gap,

Only a broken heart can fit.

 

I’m sure it was damaged

By a previous user.

Scars may have healed,

But I’m still the loser.

It was vacant and empty,

As heard by the echo.

You took it hostage,

And wouldn’t let go.

 

I’ve lost it again.

But now it’s not the same.

I didn’t see it go,

And you’re driving me insane.

Please return my heart,

Or give me an exchange.

We’d both be happy sharing,

Our lives forever changed.
