Misplaced the heart

I agree that I loved you once
but was careless at the start
unwittingly thus
I misplaced your heart.

I wrote to you many a time
you chose to close your eyes
and when I told you the truth
you chose to call it a lie.

You said what I wrote was too long
and made no sense to you
and yet I can swear on the holy book
what I wrote was all for you.

I know should have have kept it someplace safe
but I guess I wasn't that smart,
as a result of that little folly
I misplaced your heart.

Years are going by don't really know how to tell you
that I write whatever I do just for your sake,
if you choose to ignore it I can't help it
but then you can at least be fake.

Sometimes fake affection
can help someone like me
who's been denied love from whom he wishes
and get elated for free.

You can say that I lost it
but that's not an art
I had kept it alongside mine
when it broke I misplaced your heart.
