the good girl

she has a heart of gold.  it shines through her, an emblazoned message of warmth, glimmering hope and pure, honeyed sweetness.  she might as well have a neon sign ("there's a good girl") pointing at the exact spot where all of her precious love can be accessed - which can be problematic... especially since her heart is said to be unbreakable,  and this seems to entice some to test it.  the good girl feels uncomfortable carrying her heart, something of such apparent value and solidity, in the brittle chamber of her chest, but everyone assures her: it's in the right place.
