Artwork: "Toxic Relationships" - Usko
If I knew it then…Would I have changed it?
Slipped into space and floated,
My mercury heart one with the stars.
The mirror's reflections fade, slowly;
My brain is preserved in formaldehyde.
The elasticity of nature
Slowly pulls me back to reality.
If no one came to watch the fall,
Am I not justified in the collapse?
Drinking their poison,
Granting their wishes
I remember every detail of it…
But the years fade to numbers.
Wishing you well for the last time,
Drowning in the ink of my own pen
Writing an ending to something that was only beginning…
I watch my story unfold,
The black blots blurred by my tears,
I will seal it and send it
But there will be no one to read it.
