Confinement of the Cardiac Organ?

The Physical Heart
A muscular organ with the purpose of pumping blood to the extremities of the vertebrate by means of continuous involuntary rhythmic contractions.

The Metaphorical Heart
As vital as the heart is in life, it has a peculiar attachment to love. In the past it was thought that this kardia, Greek for "heart," was the headquarters of the soul and human thought. As it is apparent that this is not the case, people still use the term "heart" metaphorically as a symbol of love.

The "confinement" refers more so to the metaphorical annotation, than the physical attribution. Imprisoned in a sense of stagnation and unemotionally caring for others. The confusion I feel is not knowing when it is enough to really give up and stop trying to befriend someone. If they no longer want the friendship, that's fine. The difficulty is when the friendship is split and there are the casualties in the middle who you feel are having to "pick and choose" to spend time with one. It is absurd having people stuck in between, but what else can one do?
