A Heart Broken

What happens to a heart broken?

Does it dissipate vaguely like a wave in the ocean?

Or bleed like a punctured wound-
and then die?

Does it flame like burning fire?
Or crash and burn forever-
like a blazing rose?

Maybe it just quits like a forgotten love..

Or does it mend itself?
