    Pain in my empty heart
    Shallow beating comes
    Rhythimically in my heart
    Preying upon my soul

    The repeated use of heart in the same stanza is not something you want to do. Those used to professionally editing such things would suggest finding another word. Perhaps this:

    Pain in my empty heart
    Shallow beating comes
    Rhythimically to tears,
    Preying upon my soul.

    Not the best of suggestions :-/ But it does throw out the second heart.

    This is the only thing I found wrong. I applaude the challenge of writing such a poem! It was a joy to read :-)
