Random Poem- "Silence"

I usually write poetry when i am upset about something or angry. I wrote this poem today because my boyfriend and I broke up. The poem isn't about him (the break-up was mutual), but I still feel sad that the relationship didn't work out. I like to use a simple pattern and scheme in poetry; I guess it's just my style. Anyway, I don't have a name for the poem yet, so if you think of one, please let me know!

Her tears pour down like rain,
Falling softly on the leaves,
Revealing to all her pain
And the reason that she grieves.

He stole her snow-white heart,
But his love he did put on;
From her he did depart,
All the innocence was gone.

Her broken heart is wary
With caution, its new lover;
Its sword is drawn to parry
The advances of another.

A glist'ning armored knight
With a brave yet gentle soul,
Is what it takes to fight
And win her heart of gold.

I've decided to call the poem "Silence". Many thanks to Loss for this title!!! He suggested that the emotions felt in the poem are often suffered in silence with nobody else ever knowing about them. This is true more often than we like to think it is. People fear ridicule so much that they do not let other people see what they are feeling. It is a very fitting title; thanks Loss!
