It’s gathering dust but it’s there
Things unused or forgotten for a long time start to gather dust.
Examples of things that might gather dust are: unread books / old sporting equipment / oddly specific kitchen appliances / antique stamp collections / outdated technology / unplayed musical instruments / unpublished poems / unpracticed skills / unperformed talents / the heart / the heart / the whole heart
