Lost Heart

My love evaporated,
drifted upwards and hung over my world
like a dark cloud.

You might have thought
it would disperse, but no,
it took my heart with it.

There it held it
within its fog
and wouldn't let it go.

My tortured heart was captured,
melting into the dense mist
to be lost __________forever.
