Absence

Her heart lingers far
Beset by constant turmoil 
Keeping its distance 
From other heartbeats and souls
It withers away, it dies.

The heart is precautions, choosing which society to live in. Keeping its distance from emotions and feelings. But when a heart experiences no love, it withers away and dies. Lovely tanka. Enjoyed it very much.
