Three pummels to the chest abusive words wound the heart slashes though sutured, never heal daggers thrown without a second thought Arrows fly to their target three aimed to pierce the heart a struggle that is far beyond measure what pain do you feel; what tears you apart What weapons do you use when you strike a fragile heart life lies in danger at the hands of men three strokes of a brush, death is a work of art

The number represents emphasis, and that IS profound. A humble 'thank you' for reading and also for your compliments, Ralph.

Wow! Very compelling write. It hit me like a hammer!

Lin Lane

I almost used 'hammer' but decided to go with a paint brush. There was something a titch too bludgeoning about it. Glad you're bringing one along, Dale. Thanks!

Whatever the weapon the result is the same..to quote words from a famous song, death is "just a cold and lonely work of art...

Ah, an artwork, surely it is so! I loved this wondrous write, such a glorious description of the death of a heart! It can be so painfully sad, but it happens to us all at one point or another! What a fantastic piece that you have written, I love it! Great Work!!
