— You can't save me [Povresia IX]

Ninth piece in the “Povrésie” collection: a unique piece combining drawing and poetry.

“You can't save me. Maybe loving is also accepting what is inconsolable in the other. My love, you can't heal certain wounds from my past. Parts of me are forever destroyed, finished off long ago by a certain idea of unhappiness and anger. Not everything in my heart can be repaired. Everyone drags their own rubble, you know. We all carry indelible ruins with us. But it is possible to build “beautiful things” on top of it. I assure you. Us, it's a “beautiful thing,” isn't it?”
