you can only truely break your heart once, there are other times when a relationship goes wrong , for many reasons, you feel depressed and alone but you get over it, its not easy but you do....this is not a broken heart, a scratched, dented and bruised one but not broken.
When your heart gets really broken, it loses its ability to except love any more, you can give but you are unable to receive. You carry on living your life, doing the same things, meeting the same people, you exist, you breath and walk and talk just like you always did but inside its changed. You try to look at the good things in life, be hopeful, caring, kind and you succeed, the external facade radiates a normal person.
Where does a Broken Heart Go ? it goes nowhere and thats the problem. It stays in the person, surrounded by layers of protection, it is unable to travel to another heart, it is unable to break out of the layers of protection wraped around it. It is unable to let another heart near it, it shuns away from it, avoids it, does all it can to keep it at a distance. The fear of the pain it felt once is greater than any wish to try again, to except that it could be possible to love again.
One thing though remains, the memories, not just bad also the beautiful ones, those beautiful memeories keep the broken heart beating and at the same time squeeze it and make it feel for a short while the pain it once felt.
In the end, the pain of a broken heart is terrible but the memories of your love are your saving grace, to be in love and to be loved is like no other feeling ever put into our souls, it is heaven and hell at the same time but its beauty can never be topped.
