What do you think this poem is about?

A heart without love

A gate, a gate only:
No fence!
A door, a door only:
No house!
A lid, a lid only:
No pot!
Wheels, wheels only:
No road!
Words, words only:
No pages!
A heart, a heart only:
No love!

Like a gate without fence,
Like a door without a house,
Like a lid without a pot,
Like wheels where there's no road,
Like words when there are no pages,
is a heart - a heart without love!
