Heart of Jade
This poem is Definitely not about anyone. Simply the way it ended up rhyming...and the fact that women sometimes treat men poorly also. ONCE again...not about anyone in particular. Also good quality Jade is cold to one's touch even on a warm day...something about it's density and thermal properties.
How do you feel when you steal the other works?

Beloved
Love is weak when there is more doubt than there is trust, but love is most strong when you learn to trust even with all the doubts. If you love and get hurt, love more. If you love more and hurt more, love even more.If you love even more and get hurt even more, love some more until it hurts no more. The lunatic, the lover, and the poet, are of imagination all compact. -Quotes from internet
