Why You're Forever Vulnerable after a Broken Heart

Why is it when your heart has already been healed that someone from your past comes barging back into your heart again. Slowly entering the cracks where old woulds lie deathly broken from the love once shared with another?

Being abandoned is a painful thing. You wander aimlessly in the dark asking yourself what you did wrong to make the relationship crumble. "Is it entirely my fault?" "If I had done this, would it have been different?" "If only I did this.... and that...."

Your head is swarming with thoughts on what could have been if you had done things differently. However, there is nothing you can do to bring him back and make things as it once was.

He left you.

That's the fact you need to accept. Someone who you once loved and shared your life with has left you without second thoughts. "Maybe he's confused, likes someone else, or problems with his work."

No matter the reason. He still left you in the air without owing any explanation as to why you were left behind. This is way too cruel for someone to do this to a person who has developed strong feelings for them. There's a thing called 'attachment' and attachment is a difficult thing to comprehend.

Even if you aren't officially a 'couple' there's still attachment and the feeling of this is very strong. You open up yourself to that person, exposing your vulnerability, your weakness, and trusting your heart entirely to your significant other to hold it with care, to protect, and to love.

But, all of a sudden, he left you.

Without any explanation whatsoever. The truth is, he isn't obligated to give you any! This hurts. The feeling of your heart being tortured of the thoughts on why it didn't workout, what you did wrong, and what happened.

You are left alone to piece back your broken heart. But, even if it is all well thanks to the flow of time and the support of friends, there lies in your heart, the cracks and scars that serves as remnants of previous broken relationships.

And the danger of this is...

As long as you live, as long as you walk in the face of this planet. The fact remains that you will never be healed, no matter how you surround yourself with wonderful friends or trying to succeed and climb the corporate ladder.

The cracks will forever remain in your heart.

Until that person or another will slowly creep in and conquer your heart leaving you vulnerable to pain, yet again.

The cycle of this... will never end.

As long as you have been hurt in the past. Nothing can truly heal the heart but a new source of love.
