Broken hearts...

When allowed, a person or situation can make your heart shatter into a bajillion tiny pieces. I've been there many times. All you have to do is go find those pieces...which will take some time because it takes time to find yourself. When you have recovered them...you can take a deep breath and begin to glue the pieces back together. I believe that this is where you spend most of your time. Gluing. This is why all the memories you are wanting to get rid of stay for so long, they are covered with glue and stick to the parts you've already reconstructed. Just wash with tears or scrape them off with harsh words or the bad recollections that have seemed to some how stay intact. Wait 3 months to a year, depending on the damage, for the glue to lose complete adhesion.
The heart is a fragile instrument. It appears to be made of glass...you can see through the heart and into the soul and anyone one can drop it and break it. I suggest a metal cage- the kind with iron bars protecting the windows and a heavy iron door that is guarded - and you hold the key. One that only allows a person to see a portion of your heart- the portion you decide to display through the bars- like a criminal or a dangerous animal. A cage can be better than allowing the heart to just rest out in the open, its easier to find the shards when and if it shatters... the pieces are in one place. But this metal cage only makes it harder to embrace someone when you finally decide to allow a person in, because along the way the door may have rusted shut or you may have lost the key.
The real question is:
How do I know when to unlock the door and let another in?
The answer is simple my dear...those who will break your heart...will tell you to let them in - leaving you vulnerable to their claws as soon as you're crazy enough to let the door fling wide open, but those who will help you pick up the pieces and are there to cushion the fall, will stand at the entrance and wait for you to unlock the iron gate and allow it to swing freely open.
