Daughter of Light and Darkness

Description

This picture is almost painful to look at, not because it sucks so bad but because way back in my Sophomore year, it had relevance to my life that could tear the earth asunder with all its fury.

It's a long story, but I typed it out in a note to another Deviant, so I'll just paste it here:


---

I painted this [the original is a 16x20" posterboard] for an unrequited love interested of mine as a Christmas gift. She was one of those types who pretends to be a caring, loving, artistic type but in the end is nothing more than another stupid girl who can't decide who she is or what she wants. As per its relevance to me, I remember feeling like I was constantly either held up to bright light or plunged into unending darkness the entire time I followed her around. The sword symbolizes the desire to shear through falsehood and reveal the color of my love for her -- which I later did in a much more literal fashion, which explains why she weeps blood. Facial mutilation is kind of liberating, but raises too many questions. The hole in the chest with only a tiny spark of life to illuminate the darkness within her should be self-explanatory. As a finishing touch, the first thing I ever did to approach this girl was give her a dozen blood red roses.

I suppose that's all there is to it.

Well if your angst produced one good thing in that entire experiance, it was this pic.
The ladies are addictive, don't let them get you down, you'll find a woman one of these days, in this ocean of girls!

and if she has a sister tell me b/c lord knows I am still lookin! ;) Sheesh, my most "meaningful" pic is a direct result of an organic chem exam. The rest is inspired by beer.
