isolation from love (when a heart tries to protect itself from pain)

Ambivalent Heart

         The colors intertwine
         on the glass box
         that is my heart
         an amalgamation of emotions
         never felt
         merely projected
         on the surface
         
                                    From inside the emptiness
                                    i view the hues dance
                                    mingle, engage
                                    yet the hand that reaches out
                                    hits the cold glass
         
         Vividness makes it easy
         to believe that i feel
         to deceive the mind
         of the relevance
         of and ambivalent heart
         
                                    The colors intertwine
                                    on the glass box
                                    that is my heart
                                    an amalgamation of emotions
                                    never felt
                                    merely projected
                                    on the surface
