What does it mean when he says she has his heart?

Anonymous
My ex left me again for the girl he left me for the first time. He said that she has his heart and that he loves her, but the thing is he has no plans in getting back together with her. I was really hurt by him saying this, I said, "well if she has your heart what do I have?" And he said, "memories." They were together for a month, he felt like he wasn't good enough for her, she wanted him to change and he felt like he couldn't do it. We were together for 9 months and for him to say what he said pierced my heart. I loved him and he loved me, we talked about marriage and children and for him to say that was very harsh. I just don't understand. He's seeing her again, but he doesn't plan on getting back with her. Why would you even say something like that if you truly have no intentions of being with her? It hurts because every time I start trying to change he drops me for her, this is the 2nd time he's run back to her and for what? We were 5 months in on trying to get back together, and he gave up and brought her back then his feelings for me changed. Now he's treating me like garbage, blaming me for our past break up and saying that he'll never get back together with me. I know he was getting close to telling me how he truly felt about me, but his ex swooped back in and all he sees is the past me, why he left me the first time. He said that I am wrapped up in us that I'm not thinking straight, well if he stopped playing hot and cold and sending mixed signals I wouldn't doubt everything that came out of his mouth. This is the reason he left. He is also upset because in the past before we were dating he was upset that I was talking to other guys. All because I said, "so what I was talking to other guys" he said, "I can't be in love with someone who nonchalantly says so what I was talking to other guys" I'm like really? We weren't even together. He doesn't care he sees what he wants to see and I'm always in the wrong regardless.
