What is heartbreak?


from the ABC set An Abstract Veiw Of Reality

What is heartbreak? For a long time I had not known what heartbreak had felt to an untouched heart. People believe that to have your heart broken would take no more then a second., an action, a thought, a feeling. And yes. A second is all it could take. But there is another way to have your heart broken. Not through an action, a though or a feeling. But just by being there, in a physical form. But not with the soul, the emotion. The thing you really love about them. The thing your losing from then. But it’s not that there dieing inside. It is that the smile they used to give you and her close friends, is no longer given to you and the realisation that your there takes the smile from the fresh joke they have just told to their friends off their face. The look they give you turns from one of love and compassion, to an uncaring stare of boredom and regret. The thing that kills you inside every time you look at them with all the love in your heart and which they shrug off in the harshest and most painful way. Until. You die inside yourself.
What is heartbreak? Heartbreak is the discovery of what true pain feels like.
