The scars on my body
are because you love me
these scars on my heart
are because i love you
the blood in my hands
is because you loved another
the blood on my sheets
is because you took another
the holes in the yard
are because you wanted another

The poem in your second post was very good. This one... well, love's always been the most potent emotion, for good or bad. "Him" is to the point and (very) well constructed... kinda like the movie "Hot Fuzz" (British cop comedy, bizarre correlation, I know)
I'm not in the BBS/ forum here so much, but I'm sure there's thread for folks who like to kick it round, rhyme and meter-wise.
