Lost
Has
anyone seen my heart?
It's a good heart, but lost and broken. Are you warm?
You're always so cold now. Where will you sleep on
this cold winter's night?
You
left, said, `Mum, I don't want to hurt you anymore,
I'm sorry, I love you with all my heart.'
You
gave up and you mustn't give up! You are a special
human being and have much to offer this world. The
notes and the strings are waiting for your touch.
You
gave me your love and you gave me your dreams. I'm
holding your dreams.
I
gave you life, kept you safe and warm in my womb so
long ago. My heart beat for you then; it still beats
for you now. I feel your pain and I see your shame.
I
remember when you were small, frightened to go to
sleep, waking in the night gasping for breath. The
medicine I gave you gave you breath. Now you seek
that sleep. And the medicine you take will take your
breath away.
The
one who you thought mattered the most. He taught you
the first step of where you are today. Then turned
his back and said go away. No matter, my love, he
is not worthy of your love.
I
want to scream, you tried so hard. On the list, ring,
ring every week, not enough rehabs. No-one cares,
he's no good, but he is my heart. Am I no good too?
Wherever
you are, my heart. Know also that I love you with
all my heart. For you are my heart. And have been
since the first moment I held you in my arms.
If
you find my heart, he is my son. And his name is Simon.
Just hold him and keep him warm.
Until I get there.
