Some may view it as melodramatic.
![“The books talked about it [the heart] as if it were a sump pump stuck down in the muck and mire of somebody’s backyard. Never in all my scientific reading did I encounter anything that talked about a broken heart. Never did I read anything about what the heart felt, how it felt or why it felt…” quote by Charles Martin](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3f0/charles-martin-4510_books_the-books-talked-about-it-the-heart-as-i_390311.jpg)
