A person can die of a broken heart.

You get into a state of despair and hopelessness. Hopelessness is like a pit … when you are in it, it is very hard to get out.

You have no vision and there is no way forward that you can see. You find yourself in such a state of despair that you just curl up and die.

"

- Dr. Alex Gardner, a Glasgow clinical psychologist

I’m a ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
I’m the shell of a girl that I used to know well.

Dancing slowly in an empty room,
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again.

Too afraid to go inside
For the pain of one more loveless night.
But the loneliness will stay with me
And hold me til I fall asleep.

"I learned to live half-alive…"

- Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts

"My mind says you can make it through this, I’m strong. My heart says I can’t keep beating. I;m completely broken, will they ever agree and which will win."

"I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken — and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived."

- Margaret Mitchell
