how many lost hearts are in this world?
grown men and women
young boys and girls.

different hearts for different loves
all seeking the answers from above.

the lost heart when somebody
departs from this earth.
a lost heart when a woman gives birth.

the lost heart of a dream shattered
which was 'all in your life that mattered'.
the lost heart of a man for a woman
and a woman for the man
when they decide to take a stand.
but! the lost heart does not need a hand.

the human heart is the only
thing in this life, that has outlived
everything in this world.

it was placed gently in our chests
for this was where it suited it best.
it has learned all the emotions
pain, passion, heartbreak, sorrows, joy
and all that came its way
and in this world will forever stay.
