Can a heart really shatter? Can you physically drop it and watch it break into a million pieces? We use hearts as metaphors We unite the words "heart and soul" When ancient Egyptians believed any "feeling" belonged to the liver Because the liver is closer to the hormones Can a heart really shatter? Is it that fragile that we have to put a sign spelled out in our eyes that says "handle with care" A heart is a metaphor for all the years my heart has palpitated All the times my heart just drops in exhaustion I can't tell you if a heart really shatters. But I know what it feels like when it beats so hard and it hurts It aches It throbs It breaks
