Theme and meaning of the work

The theme and meaning of the artwork are explained through a poem by the authoress known as Blanche.

Are you asleep, my love, or are your eyes
Closed ’cause the world you know
No longer shines, has lost its charm,
…Or do you fear for yourself?

You scare yourself with own visions,
Why is it so hard to return my love?
Why can’t you open your heart to the man
Who wants to cherish you and never leave?

My love, I’m begging you, I’m crawling on my knees,
I grovel to you in my humble supplication,
I swallow tears, I choke with weeping,
It is the first time that I feel a pain so ugly.

But you don’t see the way I suffer for you,
The words from my lips have to you no meaning,
My embarrassment’s a joke, my feelings can be damned,
I needed nourishment, you’re starving me instead.

“No” does not sound like the word I’m craving,
Not what I wish to hear from these red lips
I needed warmth, you are a piece ice instead
Killing the last of hope left in my fervent dreams.

You gave me pain, I’ll give it back,
Stop shaking now – it’s only fair,
Conceal your tears – I am to cry,
Reap what you saw, my dearest one.

So pretty and powerless, your hands at your back,
So quiet and still, taken by violence,
Laid down at my feet, curled up into shape,
A bundle so humble, so good and so sweet.

Too late now, my love, for kindly repay,
I’ll play with your body a bit, for a while,
There will be some pain, some blood, my own love,
But then it will pass – you don’t have to fear.
