Winged Thing

My boyfriend has been teaching me how to draw my emotions. Basically I normally draw people, and those people tend to have whatever emotion I'm really feeling in their eyes (no matter what I do to "fix" it). He noticed this and is helping me draw the emotions straight onto the paper instead of making them squeeze through the cracks in some unrelated drawing.

I drew this right around the time I broke things off with someone I had considered a best friend. There is betrayal here, and ugliness, and violation...
I'm still working out the symbolism, but I think for the first time I really knew what it felt like to draw something genuine and let my emotions and my hand guide me through the entire process.
