Lost in love

This heart held in the palm
So delicate and warm
Loved by no other
Except my mam

You show me where to lay my head
You let me close in your bed
I feel your beat once or twice
Then you lay your head to rest

We wake up 0600
We share a cup of tea
Then off to work who holds the keys


I set off home in the dark
The road is slipping and sliding
I get home safe and wonder where you are
Then I get a knock on the door

The knocks were loud
I opened the door
That delicate and warm heart
Crumpled and died at the sound of the news
