painted heart. “Painted Heart” My heart is painted to cover the scars All the iniquities on a beating canvas. Each stroke cuts deeper than the last Carved by a vicious, malicious artist. The hand that was gentle now turned to a weapon Wielded by a heroic villain. The gentle hand is now cold blade Each stroke spawns a new bane. The villain slashes and hacks Cuts and tears until all that’s left is a shred. A diminutive piece of a fool’s eternity. The last fragment of a forgiving soul sacrificed For the sake of his art. Destroyed and defeated. My heart is painted to cover the scars All the iniquities on a beating canvas. The innocence of love marred By the flick of a wrist or stroke of the brush. A heart carved to pieces by a cruel friend A loved enemy and a heroic villain. My heart still beats awaiting the artist’s return Faithfully, diligently welcoming the excruciating blade. Awaiting the torture for the chance of feeling. Inviting the heroic villain to create upon the beating canvas To scar the heart and tear the soul To shred the life and cut the spirit. I wait for the artist to start Blade in hand he raises and then carves the canvas. I smile as I feel blood rush out. I feel the gash and fall to the ground. A smile on my lips, I fade into the abyssal eternity. The artist is finished. My heart is painted to cover the scars. i took this down for yami and now she insists that i put it back up so here it is.

Throw caution to the wind and let your fantasies run wild. Don't let your spirit be kept in a cage, let it go free and show the world it's beauty.

	Reminds me of Sweeney Todd. What can't I say? It's gruesom, sad, elated, wrenching, lots of other powerful adjetives. ^^ I'm jealous. My diction is always so plain and simple next to yours. I suppose it's style. I always try to ryhme. Yours are much more evoking. I'd say my poems would appear in a childrens book, but yours are much more adult. 3nodding The repitition is wonderful too. :} The message is certainly clear which can be tough for such serious poems but I think you've pulled it off quite stupendously. biggrin Multo Bene.

	gives you a standing ovation Very nicely done. Now, to be a element we like to call comic relief. I was listening to "Malchik Gay" while reading the poem. blaugh

	i know it is similar to yami's but it came to me a while after reading hers. see i wrote this and that is what i feared that too many would look at it and see a similar metaphor and not really take it for the thing i wrote but the simialrity to Yami's. ut oh well i like it and i in no way plagerized yami. i though to myself tat i kind of sounds like hers after the fact i had written it. i would appreciate real criticism to improve my work not it sounds like this. thanks. and i am not offended i am just saying that i'd rather have he criticism.

	You may not be offended Andreas. But I personally feel like my work has been stolen from me. This isn't all about you, it's about me as well and that I put my time into a poem. I don't write very much to begin with, and I was very proud of it. It doesn't feel unique anymore. I'm sorry, but I am offended. Purple.

	Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Though the metaphor truly is different. I mean I understand where they're coming from but still. :/ Must be the artist's perspective theme that is so similar? Just means it's a great idea is all.
