il étouffe - le monde se couche sur lui - et l’étouffe - il est prisonnier - coincé par ses promesses … on lui demande des comptes … En face de lui … une machine à compter - une machine à écrire des lettres d’amour - une machine à souffrir - le saisit … s’accroche à lui … Pierre dis-moi la vérité ↗

She simply didn't have an interest in men anymore. It wasn't that she didn't like them, she just knew how easily they broke. ↗
