Conundrum

Each person I love
  owns a piece of my heart,
Is that why then,
  it is broken
In so many different places?

Is it vastly crumbled about,
  or simply divided among those
Who have touched me,
  who have left me
With the joy of knowing them?

And where is he whose heart I seek,
Has he come and gone
  without my knowing,
Or perhaps waiting
  yet to be found?

So does this all mean
  that when my heart aches,
Or breaks	Or shatters,
  it is not doing so in pain
    or grief
      or sorrow,

But
    with
      love?
