the funeral of hearts

I remember when I was a teenager, I liked the finnish rock band H.I.M. very much. The following song was my favorite one. Here are some nice metaphors for Love.

Love's the funeral of hearts

And an ode for cruelty

When angels cry blood

On flowers of evil in bloom

The funeral of hearts

And a plea for mercy

When love is a gun

Separating me from you

When people are unhappy in their love, they feel like their hearts die. And sometimes love can be truly cruel. Although there are so many devices, I think they fully describe the pain of love. There is no excess of vividness.
