“I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death, and flung it back to me”
— Emily Bronte
Simplified Meaning:
When someone says they gave their heart to someone, it means they trusted them with their deepest feelings and love. If that person treated their heart badly, it's like saying they hurt their emotions a lot, almost like crushing them. Throwing it back means that after causing this hurt, the person showed they didn't care at all. Imagine you give your favorite toy to a friend, trusting they will take good care of it, but instead, they break it on purpose and give it back. That would make you very sad and upset because you trusted them. In real life, when you trust someone with your feelings and they hurt you, it's important to recognize it and protect yourself. Think about building trust slowly and with people who respect your feelings.
