What is King Of Hearts?
1.
1.) The Suicidal King card in the deck of cards. (He's the one with the sword through his head.)
2.) Unlike a "Hopeless Romantic," a King of Hearts does not day dream about a romantic life, but has already lived through it and died from it. The King of Hearts is a symbolism of someone who is reborn, after the experience of both the joys and tragic pain of love. They then return and master love with more self respect.
"When you date a girl you love so much with all your heart happens to leave you, you learn it's not your fault, but instead you learn your ex-girl friend was just a lying whore with a bi-polar issues and happens to take over 13 different prescribed medicines if not more. You then somewhat become a King of Hearts. It's not a great example but I hope you get the point."
