on a bridge

on a bridge I left you my heart
thinking you would find it one day
instead hopes and dreams fell apart
on a bridge I left you my heart
but my grand plan was not too smart
for another led you astray
on a bridge I left you my heart
thinking you would find it one day

    I liked the repeating line: "on a bridge I left you my heart"

    Reads melancholic, like a song you can hear hummed by a maiden working the mill.

    So moving...the line you chose as the repeating line makes it work so well.

    One gets let down if the heart is distracted just one bit. Wonderful triolet Arcadia!
