Before You Rein Despair, a Love fanfic

Summary borrowed from William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet": Act One, Scene Four.

Before You Rein Despair

The heart is an important organ in the body.

Never forget that.

It pumps blood;

A red fluid circulating the veins;

At a steady pace.

A palpitation:

Ba-bump.

Never forget that.

The heart is also a symbol of emotion:

Love. Joy. Sorrow.

The ability to feel or

Feel for.

Never forget that.

And if a heart were to be, say:

Broken.

Betrayed.

Or discarded.

Without doubt,

Always seeks revenge.

Never forget that.
