Something that resembles or represents something else visually.
Example[:
It breaks your heart;
When people you know became people you knew.
When you can walk right past someone as if they were never a huge part of your life.
You used to be able to talk for hours on the phone,
& now you can't even look at each other in the eye.
It completely breaks your heart to know good things change,
& there's nothing that you can do..
[Symbol of hopelessness, loss, heartbreak]
Significance[:
Just like metaphors and similies, symbols help represent something to show how much those two things are alike. Symbols help readers interpret things, and that's different for everyone because they have different perceptions.
