Stunted fingernails scrape back
the first slither of orange skin,
bounding a torrent of zest to spurt
into the royal keyhole of my soul,
stinging, watering - heartbreaking.
Reluctant, I remove the fruits shell
longing for a worthy distant aim
to splash upon an unwary significant,
instead, my citrus emotions reflected,
discarded, rejected - abandoned.
Eyes smarting juice offends a single soul.
Pith concealed surplus heart needs healing.

Good use of language. I think maybe the metaphor is a little too obtrusive, perhaps because the first lines don't give much of a clue that it is a metaphor. But... that's just a hunch, and mayhap I'm seeing reservations that aren't there, so to speak.
Keep it up.
