Lost.....

May 22, 1997

 
One year ago today.
  I lost my heart
     while on a ferry to Nantucket.
       365 days have now gone by,
         and no matter where I look
           I still can't find it.
             

Oh, heart,
  my heart, where are you?
    Will I ever again have you back?
      Otherwise without it,
        how on earth will I ever
          fall in love again?
            How could I do that
              without having possession of it?

My Lost Heart.
  That is still,
    haunted, bewitched, caught,
      in the sparkling light of lovely green eyes,
        of what is now only a memory.
          A very tall,living,breathing,loving,Canadian.
            My Man.
             Who is still holding my heart,
               on that deck, in the bright warmth of the sun,
                   of a past Cape Cod day,
                      on the Nantucket Ferry.
                        God, please help me.
                          Now my love's just a ghost,
                            and he took my heart with him.
                                    Lost....
