Broken Heart

what is it, a broken heart

what does indeed break, gets broken

when the heart breaks, 

is it sometimes or always

mutually broken

or as a dialogue

or a line of poetry used by writers

as a metaphor

as far as is known

the metaphor, broken heart

is an expression

which in one way or another

has a mention or story

about a broken heart

or many

is there a statute of limitations

for the age when it is possible

to break or have a broken heart

or is it timeless and unbound

is it only a loss

a vanity hurt and broken

The muscle that beats and pumps blood is nicely nestled beneath rib cages and is entirely impossible to break, physically. It can tilt on its axis, it can become 'leather' , it can also have a hole but break, no. Metaphorically, it can be broken unilaterally but often bilaterally too. That breaking of heart if between lovers is, perhaps, egos shattered. But a mother's broken heart at a child's passing, perhaps not. I have heard it said, so and so died of broken heart. It must not be the physical break, but the hurt of shattered ego must be so immense that the person withdrew from life, physically and literally. And, I do believe it is possible. In picture I see an unwrapped unboxed rose. Did someone sent you a mending of heart kit?
