Why?

Why does a broken heart hurt so much?... To clarify, anyone can break your heart, your mother/father/family with a painful truth, a best friend, a lover, a boyfriend, your children... It doesn't matter who does it, they (heartbreaks) all hurt alike...

Why do we do things "out of character" when we have a broken heart? .. from drinking more than usual... drastically changing our hair, saying yes when we would usually say no... etc? ... Maybe its to fill the void? Ease the pain? Get back at the person that broke us? Why?

Why do we put people on pedestals? Why do we trust them with everything? Why do we lose ourselves? Why do they let us trust them, if they know they are capable of hurting us? Why do they hurt us if we are incapable of hurting them? Is it to feed their ego?.. To fill a void and after they have "used" us, they move on? Why don't they realize the damage they will do, before they do it?

Why so we keep hope? Why are we willing to forgive? Why do we forgive? ... Even after everything, we forget the hurt that they have caused and act like nothing.. hoping everything will be OK. Why do we do we fail to realize that nothing will be the same again. Ever. Damage is done, the wound has been made, it's slow to heal and leaves an ugly scar, that time can not erase.

Why aren't we able to stop loving/caring as soon as our heart is broken? Why can't there be a natural reaction to protect us from that hurt?  Why does our body react, as if it is being attacked by some deadly virus? .. Why do we feel like we are about to die? Why do we lose that will to live?...

Why can't we be like those that hurt us? Why can't we just move on like they do? Why does our heart keep bleeding love when theirs is made of ice?.. Just Why? ..
