Heartbreak

Heartbreak is such a funny expression. Because, the heart doesn't really break, does it? It's more of a heavy drop in your stomach, a shaking body, intense sadness overwhelming you. It's a sickening feeling, knowing that you've done all you could, and that person still didn't love you as much as you loved them. And that's what sucks the most. You can't gauge how much someone loves you. All you can do is give them your all, and hope they do the same. So no, I don't really think it should be called 'heartbreak'. It should be called sadness. It should be called carelessness. It should be called a lie. Anything but heartbreak... Because that suggests that I was too stupid to hand you all of my heart, and you were too careless to take care of it.

Fun poem, Shannon, If I were on a debate team, I would argue hearts do get broken. Not only when one looses a lover but when someone dear to you dies, might even be a pet. Besides, what could be more poetic? LOl Good argument, great poem, but no sale!:):)
