Enemy

One day I looked at myself in the mirror and I saw the face of my greatest enemy, while the tears were falling down on my face because I new I could never forget someone, so similar to me.

Everytime I would look in the mirror I would remember him.
How could the man who had attacked my life be so physically like me?

The man that I once tried to love, the same man who persecuted me, and my greatest enemy,

He shares traces in common with my face, in our relationship of friendship without balance, we had no doubt similar parts of the body, 

 I watched myself in the mirror, and terror seized my face, the terror of knowing that my greatest enemy could be myself, the terror of knowing that I could end my own life, or persecute someone, be the enemy of me, or worse, I could one day, like him, be the greatest enemy of someone who loves me. 

 I watched, my face and the shame ran out of my soul, the shame of knowing that I shared the same traces with a monster, both humans, it's hard for me to accept my human condition since I met you, a monster that still haunts my memories, how can a human being want to destroy, do to so much harm to someone else. 

We shared moments together, you saw my pain as your own, you recognized me and you tried to love me, you swore and you made promises, we had so much in common one day, I ask myself, how could you? How could you try to steal the flower of life out of my chest? 

How could you try to take the color off from my face, to take out my own life? How could you forget that we were so alike in the moment you tried to possess me by force? How could you stop seeing me physically, so similar to you?
