In one of your previous poems, Path of Life, you use rhyme very skilfully. In Words from a Breaking Heart the free verse is successful because of the word music. But, if you don't mind me saying so, I think you've overdone the rhyming here. I realise you're experimenting with different styles but I think free verse suits the naturalism of your messages.
