In Real Life A Broken Heart Means Death

Author's Note

An effective physiology lesson... Interpret how you want, but to me, that last line is literal as love and biology can get

How compelling, excellent read!

wow, that's a fabulous tree. It could easily be the tree of life, beautiful. People do sometimes die of broken hearts, short and to the point, the thing I have learned about love is that you don't have to share it to enjoy the gift it brought to you, if the one you love, does not love you, when you close your eyes the memories are all still there, you carry them with you, no one can take that away from you or stop you from experiencing that joy all on your own. Some call it denial, some call it artful healing.

It's the oldest tree in the world :)... Roots as deep as anything. And thanks for the review; I literally meant that if your actual heart breaks then you die physically because it is a vital organ lol... But def open for interp
