Hard Around The Heart

You find me 
Cold
Bitter
I am not yours to touch
To have
To hold
No softness to envelop you
No love to comfort you
Only emptiness
Ambivalence to greet you
Reach for me and I will prick you
Leave you 
Cold 
Lost
Hard around the heart
I am not yours to hold
You will not reach me
