Hearts...

Metaphorically, hearts are about as deep as one can go.
Physically, it's just a muscle required to keep one alive. 

Curious then, that a muscle with no other purpose than pumping blood could ache so thoroughly...

And even more curious, the way that muscle affects everything else in the body. 

When a heart aches, the lungs have to work a little harder to breathe. The ears work a little harder to hear. Eyes try harder not to cry. Brains ache with the struggle of trying to determine the problem and how to solve it.

Such a damper that a little muscle can put on an otherwise healthy being...

So then, how does one fix a seemingly physical issue that doesn't seem to have a tangible cause? 

Riddle me that...
