Lost Heart

I found a broken heart just last spring
It was dingy and scarred from trampling
and a bit too heavy for its small size
Still, picking it up I saw some sparkling

It missed most of its faux diamond chain
The heart sported no inscription or name
It can't be worth much, I thought shining it
Even so, do hearts' values ever wane?

Does the heart's owner miss the part?
Do the heartless ever miss their hearts?
I keep it on hand at all times hopeful
Ever searching to return the lost heart

Even battered and ruined and tossed
I think I'd miss my heart if ever lost
