Collage of a character, or… dissection of a personality?


Making up someone’s character to our taste from bits and pieces we collected from here and there. I give you her hands, his eyes, his lips, her neck, her passion, his sense of humor, my madness, their compassion: construction.

Breaking down someone’s character to pieces to understand what he or she is made up of. I take apart your hands, your eyes, your lips, your neck, your passion, your sense of humor, your madness, your compassion: deconstruction.

When I am done with you, I will keep some parts that I liked. I put them away, and use them later on, along with other parts from other people before you, in a new collage for a new character.

Now. can I use your heart on someone else?

It’s too bitter. too tender. too fiery. too big. it won’t fit.

But this is the part I like the most, the part I like to keep.

I guess I’ll just have to save it for myself, on me it fits perfectly well.

Thank you for your heart my dear.
