Heartbreak is the raw, unfiltered ache that follows the loss of love, trust, or connection. It is a piercing emptiness that settles in the chest, making familiar places feel hollow and familiar faces distant. Every memory can sting, every song can trigger a tear, and every fleeting thought of the past feels like a wound reopened.
