what do you do
when you toss your heart
into unexpecting hands
it falls short of their fingers

what do you do
when they never see it fly
crowds pressing all sides
your heart falls by their feet

what do you do
when they never look down
shoes shuffle around
your pumping heart

what do you do
when your heart tumbles
through the masses
it cannot be found

what do you do
when you've lost your heart
you ache alone
it pumps in an alley
