The Truth Beneath The Rose

Or

Angels

"Forgive me Father…"

He is perfect. Why does he need forgiveness? He is doing this for good in the end anyways. But me…

What we do. How we feel. Does he regret it? It is a sin.

"…for I have sinned…"

After every kill, he prays. After each moment he screws up someone's life, he prays. And after every fuck…

He prays even harder.

"…I have murdered…"

What would the mafia think if they saw him now? Kneeling beside his bed, praying to a God that I bet none of them believe in.

They would think he is weak.

"…I have sent people into their personal Hell…"

But to kill and turn away. Then to be able to tell God.

But to 'Lie with a man as one lies with a women' and not regret it. Then to be able to tell God.

He is strong.

"…and I have slept with several men, sometimes more than one at once…"

He was a prostitute in the mafia. When he told me, he completely broke down. He hated it, but he had to do it.

Just like I hated watching him leave.

"…I have hurt my one remaining friend beyond comparison…"

He rarely mentions me. I don't know why, but he doesn't.

"…and he is more than a friend to me…"

I know.

"…He is more than just a senseless fuck…"

"…He may piss me off to no end, but he is there for me…"

I was always there for you.

"…I hope he will always be there for me…"

I will. I promise.

"…Because without him, I can't go on…"

Without him, I will die.

"…I don't care whether it makes me sinner and I'm sorry for that…"

I opened the door. He didn't notice.

"…Because I love him…"

"I love you, too."
