How did you erase me?
Please let me know, because i tried it with you,
but i failed
Using tip ex left blotches on the paper,
burning your picture left ashes
and when i tried to rid your name from the pages
it left traces
So how did you do it ?
About this poem and the creation of its featured imagine
I wrote this poem a while ago – when some people that had been dear to me decided to walk their further paths without me. So it is filled with grief but i still think art is a beautiful outlet. As i still held on to the memories i wondered how you can erase someone from your life so irrevocable. As if this person never existed for you. No traces left whatsoever.
The picture i wanted to take was meant to be some ashes with a picture and blotches of correction fluid. Well, what i did not anticipate in my creative mind was that correction fluid does burn (despite it saying so on the bottle). So please do not try this at home ! I think the outcome is even better as everything i had planned.
