My heart is a rock

Try taunt me with love,
But I'm not as dove,
Being gentle, not my strength,
Better not to knock,
My heart's like a rock,
Better keep me at arm's length.

Few opened my soul,
But love not their goal,
Fine friendship they instead sought;
That, a lot, I'll give,
As long as I live,
Since true love can't just be bought.

Agree that true love can’t be bought. But it is worth living for. I like your poem and feel your heart is indeed softer than a rock. Hugs
