It could be a gorgeous woman, or an intricate piece of art. Maybe even a timid child, or a heartfelt song. Something so mesmerizing, that draws your attention from a glance to a gaze. It's more than just beauty per se. It's something that is precious.
Something so breathtakingly fragile, that makes you want to cry out for people to leave it be, simply because it's perfect the way it is. So much so, that you cannot even stand the thought of it being broken, or blemished, or corrupted. Except it will.
She will, despite your best efforts.
So you resign yourself to the fact of the matter, and let life run its course. You watch, helplessly, as the world slowly breaks her down, taking away her innocence and livelihood, vertebra by vertebra. Then deep inside somewhere you feel a rupturing sensation. Your heart being crushed.
And voilà! Heart-breaking beauty.
