Erasing parts of you
Are dangerous
Because you might lose something
that you might actually need.Â
Let’s discuss
This disgust
That’s caused
This rust to form on all your hinges.
An iron oxide – usually red
Like blood – Â
Funny coincidence
Formed by the redox reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture –
I’m curious:
Who or what took your will?Â
Your iron will?Â
And slowly,Â
Over time,Â
Made it rust…
And slowly,Â
Over time,
Made it erode and breakÂ
And turn to dust,Â
Like my resolve to stop these binges – Â
These rusty fucking hinges.
So I erase
The parts I cannot heal,Â
Hide the things I don’t want to feel,Â
Avoid the things I don’t want to hear
And slowly but surely
I disappear. Â
