Array ( [sid] => 143881 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Stone that is your heart [time] => 2008-07-13 13:46:19 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The stone that is your heart

Someone tried to carve you
Tried to tear you apart
Hurting you retreated
And made the
stone that is your heart

But I was not the artist
I do not deserve the blame
I was not the one
Who stoned you into shame

You built up your defenses
Stoned away your heart
Little do you know
I will tear the stone apart

Someone hurt you deeply
Scared away the beauty that is you
But I will unlock the secret
I will chisel you anew

My emotions the hammer
Swinging
My soul the chisel
Biting

Chipping away the pieces
Slowly unlocking the art
Chipping away the stone
That has become your heart.

A piece falls away
I get a glimpse of you
I hold the chisel tighter
My hammer rings strong and true

You try to push me away
I wedge the chisel deeper
You think stone makes you strong
It only makes you weaker

The layers crack and fall away
A tear falls from your face
Your emotions free now
Not hiding in disgrace…

The stone that is your heart

Someone tried to carve you
Tried to tear you apart
Hurting you retreated
And made the
stone that is your heart

But I was not the artist
I do not deserve the blame
I was not the one
Who stoned you into shame

You built up your defenses
Stoned away your heart
Little do you know
I will tear the stone apart

Someone hurt you deeply
Scared away the beauty that is you
But I will unlock the secret
I will chisel you anew

My emotions the hammer
Swinging
My soul the chisel
Biting

Chipping away the pieces
Slowly unlocking the art
Chipping away the stone
That has become your heart.

A piece falls away
I get a glimpse of you
I hold the chisel tighter
My hammer rings strong and true

You try to push me away
I wedge the chisel deeper
You think stone makes you strong
It only makes you weaker

The layers crack and fall away
A tear falls from your face
Your emotions free now
Not hiding in disgrace…

Overall I like this poem however i believe that it would be better if you didn't use such obvious rhymes. Other than when you rhymed swinging with biting I feel as if I have heard all of the rhymes before. Remember in poems words don't always have to exactly rhyme or even rhyme at all. Since swinging and biting don't exactly rhyme it makes the poem a whole lot more interesting. Good luck.
