Takotsubo

"When you drop a glass or a plate to the ground, it makes a loud crashing sound. When a window shatters, a table leg breaks or a picture falls off a wall, it makes a noise. But as for your heart, when that breaks it's completely silent. You would think as it's so important it would make the loudest noise in the whole world, or at least some sort of ceremonious sound like the gong of a cymbal or the ringing of a bell. But it is completely silent, and you almost wish there was a noise to distract you from the pain. If there is a noise, it's internal. It screams and no one can hear it but you. It screams so loud it makes your ears ring and your head ache. It trashes around in your chest like a great white shark caught in the sea, it roars like a mother bear whose cub just got taken. That's what it looks like, and that's what it sounds like, a thrashing panicking trapped great big beast roaring like a prisoner to its own emotions. 

But that's the thing about love, no one is untouchable."

- Cecelia Ahern, from If You Could See Me Now
