Hey diddle diddle..
..Instead of a New Year's resolution, how about a New Year's riddle!?
In this body,
That you and I,
Reciprocally share,
I am the most vital organ,
And yet,
When breached,
The most difficult to repair.
What am I?

That's right that the body is a metaphor, listen up everyone looking at the riddle!

I'm only taking a long shot guess because oh my God I would love it if you wrote something specifically for me😊

Dear D,
A vital reciprocally shared organ…hmmmm…I’ll go with the heart but this feels more worldly…what a great write. I wish you all the best in the comp. H🌷

Thank you, 😊 and thank you for guessing! So many views people looking but not taking a stab at it, maybe folks coming back to it after a while, which is sound reasoning. I'll post the answer in a few days.

Hmm. Was thinking of the Van Allen Belt, but not sure any of the atmosphere layers are considered an organ? Bit too scientific for me.

Thank you so much for guessing! I'm going to wait a little while longer before posting the answer in the comments just in case someone else wants to take a stab at it.

Alright I guess it has been long enough so I will reveal the answer to the riddle and that answer is indeed, as Lady Fancy was first to guess, Trust. The body that is reciprocally shared is a metaphor of a relationship and in any relationship, I consider trust to be the most vital organ.
Thank you to everyone who took a guess and to everyone who is kind enough to read and listen to my writing. 💖🙏

You've certainly sparked something here Daniel.
I once attended a marriage therapy and the presenter took a delicate glass and broke it on the floor explaining how trust was like that glass and putting the shards back together would be the most difficult thing to repair, not to mention how long it would take.
Good luck in the comp!

Vee's riddle is so beautiful it makes mine look childish by comparison lol I'm definitely enjoying the entries into Luna Greyhawk's competition A Riddle, Question or Quandary and the entries into my competition, Funeral: The Last Rites. It's great to see so much spirited participation my friend and I definitely agree with that marriage counselor. 💖🙏🏻
