“I would that he broke my legs
Than break my heart,” said she,
“For broken limbs heal quicker
Than shattered heart’s can mend.
Feel here, this thumping drum of flesh,
Has been torn by his deeds and words;
No deep cut or wound
By knife or blade could
Dig in so deep or cause such pain
As his black deeds and words have done.
Would that he took my life
Than take my heart,” added she,
“Rather a love of purgatory
Than hell of loveless days
For all this dark eternity.”

But, uhm, "heart's" or, "hearts"?
Gather Broadcasting: Have it your way
Now 36!!!
I just wanted to stop by since I am finally going through what is now listed as under 5,100 pieces of gather new mail that is sitting in my inbox on here.
With that mentioned I just came across either a mailing from you yourself, or someone else brought this piece to my attention. You or they felt that your creation should be shared with the gather community, which I am very glad that it was passed on to me to view. So I wanted to say Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to publish it here on gather for us to all view. :o)
As well before I leave you I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
