Heart Inside Out

Struggling to hearken to my heart

it’s been sent but never spent

listen to the far off glisten

wish to feel the swish

alas, I can’t locate my heart

it has parted, parted, parted

swirling mind is most unkind

I beg and beg and beg

to find the golden egg

bleed to rewind once more

to follow crimson trail

let lost love prevail

but I’ve lost it, lost it, lost it

tossed it, tossed it, tossed it

what has it cost, cost, cost?

can’t find my mind

my heart departs

missing, missing, missing

reminiscing about

my absent link

don’t know what to think

blink and tell me

where you hide

want to put

my heart inside.
