The time slowly stopped
As I see you on the street with another woman
I asked myself
Is this what you really want?
A pretty girl with hourglass body and porcelain like skin?
I felt horrible as I saw you laugh with another being
Have I not been enough?
Should I be that?
Should I be what you want?
As my memories from my past life with you
Flashes before my eyes
Tears started streaming
Then our eyes met
As I looked at you in awe
Your eyes who have met mine looked different
You were petrified.
You have mentioned a few words
That I didn't quite hear
As I wondered what
I started running.
My mind went blank
I cowered in fear
Of what I have seen
As I stared blankly in my own reflection
It was me but another me
I smiled coldly.
I started walking slowly towards an alley
I didn't know why there
But I just did.
I kept walking
In a languid pace
Then I stopped.
I was at my apartment
Confused and dismayed
I searched for my keys
As I opened the door
My attention were at the keychain hanging with my keys
Reminding me again of him
It was his last gift before we depart
I cried yet again.
I was asking myself
Does my true self not satisfy him?
I sat in my room crying
While I stared at the ceiling
Then I fell asleep
The tv was on, playing random shows
It was already dark when I looked outside the window
I remembered again our encounter
"What did he say?" I mumbled to myself
I felt dehydrated
Wanting to drink some water
I walked to get some
But ended up at the washroom
I was muddled
I walked and walked then , there I was at the
kitchen
"Finally" I sighed
I opened the fridge and got some cold water then
went back to my room
I looked at the tv then changed the channel
I clicked and clicked and clicked the remote trying to Find a good show then I paused
I payed attention as I watched the news it was about a murder 6 months ago
The body was just found recently
They interviewed the man who discovered the body
He looked familiar but he's face was blurred out so it was impossible to see
The victim cannot be identified.
Cause of what the murderer has done to the body
nothing to salvage for DNA fingerprinting
It was a girl was all they can say
"How cruel" I whispered
Then I went back to sleep
It has been a week
I woke up to the sound of the doorbell
I looked outside the window it was morning
I stood up to open the door
Then there stood a guy with a box , a delivery man.
He looked kind of familiar he's structure that is
I cannot confirm who he was because of the mask he was wearing
I signed the paper.
I looked at him as he walked away
He looked back with a petrified face
I just smiled and waved goodbye
Remembering the news report I watched a week ago
"How peculiar their body looked the same"
I opened the box there I stand confound
The box contained a kitchen knife but something was missing
I placed the box under my bed.
I didn't pay too much attention and just brushed it off
A few minutes have passed
I was getting tired staying home
So I went outside for a bit then there I saw him
He was alone so I followed him
Oh how stunning he is since the last time I saw him
It has been about 6 months ago since we broke up
I didn't know why
He liked this face so why?
I followed him but soon realize
He was meeting up with that girl again
He kissed her.
A quick dab.
There I felt a sensation
Jelousy , frustration , and dissatisfaction.
They stopped at a cafe
They both sat down near the window
And I sat in the opposite side
He ordered some americano
Same with the girl
How unusual
Then the waitress soon begun to go to my direction
She asked for my order
And me responding with a latte
It was my favorite so was he's
So I wondered why he ordered an americano
Half an hour have passed
Then they left the cafe
I followed them.
They walked and walked
Then They stopped at a condo
His condo.
He picked up the rag
Then there it was
The key
He opened the door
Then they begun entering
What are they gonna do?
knowing what but denying the possibility.
I left.
I went to my apartment
I lay down in disbelief
Then I fell asleep
I woke up by the sound of the tv
My body feels awfully painful
I looked outside and it was still dark
I kept clicking on the remote finding a good show
Then I paused again at a news report
It was shown that a women was found dead
The cause was multiple stab wounds.
this time the victim's identity can be confirmed.
After a few minutes they showed the face of the victim
I was stunned.
It was the girl he was with.
I looked confuse and shocked at the same time
But I felt another sentiment
"Wait wasn't she with him" I thought
I turned off the tv and went back to sleep
Not thinking about it
Then I woke up
This time it was morning
My suspicions was still present
I stepped outside
I walked and walked and walked
Then there I stopped
I was at his condo
I looked outside the window no one was there
I pulled up the rag
"The key is here" I whispered
I unlocked the door and entered leisurely
It was a mess
A lot of paper was scattered
"Looks like he was sticking his nose to another persons business" I muttered
Then there was an object that looked familiar above the table
"It was him.." I sighed in frustration
I was surprised
Why would he get this?
I picked up the paper scattered on the floor
I read each
One by one
Mostly composed of medical record of a girl
Surgery record you may say
And a picture of me
"Why is this here?"
I slowly walked towards a paper that caught my attention
I grabbed it then
Read what was written
I stared at it blankly
I was silent for a moment
Someone was laughing
So loud that it was terrifying
I looked around
Then there I saw my reflection
It was me all along
Laughing by myself
I went back to my apartment
I opened the box that I received
The knife it was clean but looks like it was used
Then I remembered what he said to me that time
"Who are you?"
