ME, ACCOMPLICE
LAURA RUSSO (ITALY)

You have slowly scratched my soul.
You removed and never added.
You shattered my certainties,
While building yours.
The more I loved you,
The more I fell out of love with myself.
You strengthened your ego…
I weakened mine.
Accomplice, I watched in silence,
As I slowly died
In my soap bubble.
So distant from myself
That I don’t feel like myself.
I look at myself from afar,
I feel pity for that soul… my soul.
How could I have let this happen?
In the name of what, why?
You erased me,
I have little memory of myself.
I don’t remember who I was and I Don’t Know who I am.
But, I see a hand… there, at the bottom.
If I push myself a little further, perhaps…
Perhaps I can…
I can get it out…
I can get MYSELF out.
