Your voice drowns out the air
I speak but you're not there
Depuis mon silence je n'espère
Que de les voir te briser dans ta chair.

When did it all go wrong?
When did we lose our strong connection?
Depuis quand ne sommes-nous plus
L'unité que tu avais toujours voulue?

The call of light is faint now.
Darkness ripples along skin and brow
Tu me vois faible, fragile, quand bien même
Je serai le couteau, la main blessée qui t'aime.

Go to sleep now, everything will be alright
Close your eyes; for you I've cried
Un millier d'ombres à l'affût de cet instant
Plus qu'une larme, baignée de sang.
I joined RandomBrains recently, to get to participate in a fun activity: creating an artwork that will be used as inspiration for a second artist. I do need some randomness in my life now and again, if only to keep things interesting for myself :D

I got a random set of words to use as prompts:
connection - faint - fragile

I got the first two sentences a couple of days ago, and figured that today I'd continue work on it. I ended up doing a dual poem ^^ (the good thing with working with bilingual artists that know the same languages as you ;)). As usual, it got sad. XD

So here's my half of the activity ^^ now I'm curious to see what will come of it << muahahaha. 

This piece now has its visual counterpart! Check it out here: fav.me/dazhkm8, and give Tuntalm some love ^^

Looks like hella fun! Maybe if there's not too many rules I'll join!

Je parle en francais, mais oui!

But let me take time to uh...you know...not skim...and read this properly! XDDDDD

To me this represents not a pain or a broken love but rather that sweet dark joy of letting go and succumbing to that peaceful almost orgasmic deathly sleep.

The part that stays with me...is "when did it all go wrong?" 

So much introspection to be had and it's never quite any one thing that went wrong. But damn if you don't spend days, months....sometimes even straight hard years trying to precisely pinpoint ....where it all went wrong.

If you could just...just figure it out somehow, wouldn't life be so much clearer and more clam?

You could finally focus on the present and even maybe the future if you could just fucking figure it where it all went wrong.
