Hearts are broken
Hearts are filled
Hearts of gold and silver,
Killed.

Hearts of light,
Hearts of shadow,
Hearts of evil,
Shattered.

Hearts of life,
Hearts of death,
An angel sent, never,
Mattered.

Love goes on,
In life or death,
Perhaps that's why
I've become so
Tattered.

I really like this. . the rhyme and meter are nice; words are profound.

Exposing pain is never easy.  You did an amazing job.  Keep on keeping on.  You are so talented.
