Day 20 - Urgent Telegram

When you left
you took some of my heart with you
stop
I am writing to ask you to please post it back
stop
I am not saying I love you
stop
You need not hurry to the station
while an orchestra rages
stop
I am not interested in a relationship,
and I do not think you are either,
although you are very attractive
and we got on well
stop
I imagine you may have taken it by accident
stop
It probably fell into your wineglass
when I leant over to tell you a joke
or made a leap for it
when we jostled for space on the sofa
stop
It may have stowed away
when we swapped gamepads
stop
My thumb-tips are still sore, by the way
stop
I have had such a hard time
without this vital hunk of my heart
stop
The walls of my room have closed in,
my camera lens has a crack
like a lightning bolt
and I do not look good in my bath robe anymore
stop
