My heart was ripped, you sewed it with your thread of love.
And when you saw other ripped heart you asked me for your thread and unsewed my heart and left it ripped again, I saw you as a stitcher but I should have know you were a needleworker with only one thread and too many needles which you first use for stitching and then for pricking
This is a quotation written by me. Can I use ripped here? Let me know if there are other grammatical mistakes too.

"My heart was ripped, you sewed it with your thread of love"
Improving on that, you might consider:
- My heart's fabric was ripped apart and you stitched it back together.
- My heart was broken and you put it back together.
- My heart was torn apart or ripped apart and you put it back together.
I would not use; My heart was ripped, only.
Also, bear in mind that passives are not always the best choice as usually in poetry one is looking for the strongest effect:
- You mended my torn-apart heart.
Even stronger:
- You mended my stricken heart
Cloth is ripped, paper is ripped with or without the word apart.
Generally, for an image involving the heart, we say a heart is broken but not that it is ripped. If you say ripped, you have to qualify the heart as being paper or fabric or some other material that can be ripped. Also ripped apart is stronger. It means the heart is now in two pieces, rather than one with small rip or tear in it. I prefer torn apart to ripped apart here.
