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
