What do you think this poem is about?

An Elegy to Heart

Heart within heart
Life within life
A hope?
A mirage?
A foolish whim?

Unfulfilled hopes
Testing idealism
Unnerving anxieties
Dark lonelinesses…

Ah!

When love, scarce
When the known, a caricature
When companionship, a test
When heart shatters in silence
When agony performs a ghost dance

Still…

To love as you’re
To love me as I’m

Isn’t that a vain hope?
Isn’t that a mirage

Ah, a foolish whim?
