Broken Heart

失恋 (shitsuren)

The Japanese word 失恋 means "Broken Heart; Unrequited Love; Disappointed Love" and is composed of the kanji 失 (read shitsu) meaning "lost; broken; lose" and 恋 (read ren) meaning "romantic love, being in love". This specifically refers to a heart broken for love (unrequited love) as opposed to Broken Heart (shoushin) which is more general and not specific to love.
