    I think v. is supposed to mean 'very'.

    The poem means:
    I feel sick since you left me and went away.
    Everything I had, I gave to you, even my heart.

    You use 'had' because if you've given everything you own to her, then you no longer 'have' it. You had it, now she has it.

    (You need to be careful of giving everything you have to women! - or men, as the case may be.)

    Sorry for my curiousity, but I wonder why a native made such a mistake, plus he specialized in academic area. Are you really a native English, Mickel?
    Any way, I enjoyed reading your very short poem.

    Hello Mickel,
    Because you made drastically some mistakes suc as; A grateful, using "have" in past tense, "sence" in place of "since"... your native language might have been changed in middle east!!!

    Yes.

    You need to try to use some punctuation.

    Also, Taghavi is questioning whether your native language is English, as you claim in your profile, because your English is poor.
