When two people love each other they walk in step.
They don't even notice as their breath matches
and their hearts beat in unison.
The hearts grow as one aware of the other
playfully keeping the rhythm of love and life.
When fate comes to separate them they must be torn apart.
This is where the pain of a broken heart comes from.
If the heart could cry it would but it leaves that to the eyes.
Instead the heart feels the pain of absence and amputation.
Like the pain of a phantom limb the heart aches for its partner.
The tone of the music is darkened
as the heart grieves for its companion.

I really liked this one.

I love those lines.

Those are some powerful lines.
It's so true. "The mind sees what the heart can not. But the mind understands what the heart doesn't."
My friend wrote that quote and it is kind of similar.
Pain from the heart is the worst type of pain there is because it's not physical and you can't take anything to get rid of it either.
Great Write!

Beautiful in a haunting, lonely way, I love the imagery, the feeling of twho hearts beating as one.
