breakup

Scattered shards of a broken heart-shaped glass on the floor with a single tear glistening.
Before the ruins of love, the only evidence left is a single tear.

Description

A breakup is the moment when an investment called love becomes irrecoverable. Once sweet promises are relegated to the trash bin along with the tattered fragments of shared photos. The emotional market crashes overnight, and participants rediscover the cold gaze of onlookers looking down. Friends may offer words of comfort, but the real prescription is chocolate and an endless loop of heartache songs. In the end, all that remains is the scream etched into the solitary heart.
