A broken heart has physical pain
It begins not at the heart per se, but right at the bottom of the sternum.
It radiates outward, and sinks into all of the muscles.
It hinders the lungs. It blinds the mind.
It feels quite literally as if a knife enters the chest and lets loose a flood of ants seething and crawling in your blood.
The worst wound is not a mortal one.
It is one that lets you live while watching everything you love and hold dear stay out of reach.
It allows the only barrier to be the one in your mind, and yet it holds you back.
A broken heart is indeed the worst punishment exacted.
