Personification

What is being personified in this poem?

Someone Lost their Heart on the Bus
 
I came, I sat,
I looked around.
I thought, I puzzled,
At what I found.
A heart, alone,
It looked at me,
It screamed, it cried,
From under the seat.
I sat, I stared,
I wondered why,
This heart was here.
Who was to cry,
At what they lost,
At what I found,
When I came, I sat,
And looked around?
