She left her heart <br />on the platform <br /> <br />never even heard it <br />snap. <br /> <br />It fell between <br />the THE & GAP <br /> <br />of <br />MIND THE GAP. <br /> <br />The train slowly <br />left it behind <br /> <br />she only missed it <br />when tucking her hair behind an ear <br /> <br />brushing tears <br />away <br /> <br />discovering <br />her heart <br /> <br />wasn’t there <br /> <br />only the broken <br />clasp <br /> <br />her fingers <br />frantically searching <br /> <br />against her heaving <br />chest <br /> <br />as if she <br />were going to faint <br /> <br />like a heroine <br />in a bad Victorian play.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/losing-her-heart/
