You Left Your Keys Poem by Edith Niemeyer

[Verse 1]
You left your keys
But took my chest
Now every room
Feels underdressed

I found your note
In my coat sleeve
Still folded small
Like you believed

[Pre-Chorus]
If you don't want forever
Then say it straight
If love was a door
You slammed the gate

[Chorus]
Give me back my heart
Give me back my heart
I need that part of me
That you took apart

Give me back my heart
Give me back my heart
If you won't stay tonight
Then don't leave scars

[Verse 2]
Your coffee mug
Still on the shelf
And I keep reaching
By myself

The porch light burns
On the same old hour
Like it knows
What you devoured

[Pre-Chorus]
If you don't want forever
Then say it clear
Don't leave me holding
What used to be here

[Chorus]
Give me back my heart
Give me back my heart
I need that part of me
That you took apart

Give me back my heart
Give me back my heart
If you won't stay tonight
Then don't leave scars

[Bridge]
If it's too late
Then shut the door
But take your shadow
Off my floor

I can heal
I can start
Just hand me back
My broken heart

[Final Chorus]
Give me back my heart
Give me back my heart
I need that part of me
That you took apart

Give me back my heart
Give me back my heart
If you won't stay tonight
Then don't leave scars
