Untouched

Untouched heart
A pot of gold
Waiting to be discovered

The door flies open
Love's discovered
Unnourished
Always faithful
Never asking
Always doing

It slams shut
Shattered into pieces
Purple fluid running everywhere

The pieces
I try to fit into a puzzle
Never ending

Spinning into circles
I'm lost
Like the shards of love left behind
But no one knows
And no one sees
