I am an Art.

I cut my hands and heart for you;

Whilst you stood there and watched,

Undaunted;

And said that I didn't bleed enough.


You smoked the ashes of my pride,

Then held my hair and ate your words;

Time takes time, we both know;

Yet sometimes, like tonight,

the rain is full of ghosts;

But I am not the grotesque picture

you painted anymore,

I am a piece of art that I made.

You put down hitting words on your page. At times we're never reaching the brim of someone's expectations rather days later, they keep drowning in our hatred. I certainly can relate to this. And of course one doesn't need to have the criteria of love to find this relatable, there are many faces to match this piece with!
Thanks for sharing this Fairy! Be blessed💜

I am a piece of art that I made..whoaaaaa!!! what more do I need to hear

We sometimes love someone Soo much that we try to ignore their way of treating us and try to justify them. But in the end our heart will never let us devastate ourselves and bring our self esteem back ... I am glad that the speaker here realized how hazardous it could have been if she would have continued doing so.... The last line gives hope...saying the good wins...and love is blind but not SENSELESS!

Powerful use of words shared dear poet. You make the reader believe and understand every statement.
"But I am not the grotesque picture
you painted anymore,
I am a piece of art that I made."
The above lines. So damn good. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Such a powerful, deep and sad write, expressed well

[Eilis]

The contrasts in this poem are powerful. That the speaker can be objectified in such a way, but then still have the strength and light within to see the inherent art of herself—I find that empowering.

There will always be people who see us as a means to an end but that doesn’t mean we have to give in to that view of ourselves. Your poem speaks to me of that. Of the inner strength that makes us mountains against the harsh storms of this world. Great work.

Deep felt and well stated.

The realisation that you are worth far more than a certain other would give you credit for. Unrequited love is painful. Your words are powerful. Not only are you art, you are unique with it. He doesn't deserve you.
