ANGEL

I was alone in that place , I don't even know how I got there, or if I had actually arrived .

That place , somehow , was so far away from where I used to live, far away from my dreams, far away from my everything….. But sure enough, I was the one who had got there,

No one had led me to the way I went,

No one had caught me up in this cage of sorrow.

It was just me.

Usually when you look at yourself in a mirror,

You think that that reflection is obviously you,

Nothing unusual. Same blood and same heart.

But the person in front of me was nothing more than a monster,

Who believed that he was the only one existing.

He denied that he was only a part of that mirror,

Clouded by another soul.

Me.

I was selling myself to him,

Or to me,

I couldn't know.

I could not run away from that dark cage,

I could no longer away from myself .

I remember hearing voices,

too many voices,

trying to corrupt my poor body with their noisy whispers and laughs.

And then I realized that it was the me from the mirror the one speaking,

that image, carved in the glass, was so beautiful,

He lent me his hand,

And attracted I grabbed it,

leaving myself drowning in that clear glass.

It was water.

Then that reflection suddenly turned to me, and smiling

he said " I was waiting for you ,Lovino . Why are you crying ?"

With tearful eyes he continued " Are you hurt? Don't worry from now on I'll always be with you. Do you trust me?"

I had fallen in love with that image, and thats why with my hand lost in that emptiness,

I trusted him.

Letting myself collapse in that deep and pitch black water.

I closed my eyes and, even now, I can't see anything
