Broken Heart Syndrome
2/17/08

I’ve been diagnosed with BHS, and they say there’s
nothing to be done
but to
s a y g o o d b y e
love is violent
romantic
passionate
brutal
punishing

Romeo and his Juliet
believed that love equaled death
and they died for one another with
full, tragic, poetic hearts
but I’m lying here with BHS
dying of a broken heart
so I guess Shakespeare was right in the end

A/N: Short and unedited, thrown together haphazardly. I don't really know where the idea came from, but please let me know what you think of it. :-)
