What happens when someone breaks your heart?

Saw a verse from Jenny's FB account written by Joe D' Mango..very true..

When someone breaks your heart, first you are
shocked. Someone will say you are
heartbroken and you examine the words BREAK
and HEART and HEARTBROKEN and you
immediately decide that it’s inaccurate. You feel
pain in the region of your heart and you think it’s
your heart breaking but one’s heart doesn’t really
break, something else does---FAITH. YOU STOP
BELIEVING.

No, not in the big things which are most of the
time irrelevant. You still believe in God or Buddha
or some Supreme Being, you still believe child
prostitution is bad. You just stop believing in the
small things that you do, the small things that give
meaning to your life, and you begin to think
everything is pointless: WHY get up? WHY
dress up? WHY breathe in and out? WHAT
FOR? WHAT FOR?

When someone breaks you heart (your faith), you
stop believing and you switch off the
lights inside your heart. Someone is
home, but that someone is lying in the dark, in the
room farthest from the gate, and that someone
can’t hear anything. Friends, parents, they all call
out to her from the gate (“COME OUT” which
means “MOVE ON”) but they are unheard, unseen,
unacknowledged.

When someone breaks your heart, you turn
into a small ball of self-pity. You lie in
bed, in a ball. You hug your knees keeping them
close to your chest, like a fetus. Freud said,
it’s human instinct to go back to the womb where
we can feel safe.

But that’s what happens when someone breaks
your heart---THEY STEAL THE VERY THING
THAT MAKES YOU FEEL SAFE, WHOLE,
INTACT.
