2. Calma tu dolor – Stravaganzza He felt it in his bones. He felt the years that were passing by. He had lived life after life without seeing an end to it all. He had lived with this horrible pain eating away on his insides every time he came to remember what had transpired all those lives ago. He had sworn he would never be like his father. But in a way, he had become just like his father. The man had abandoned his pregnant wife, without ever looking back. He had married another and left them to rot. Alexander had sworn never to betray another and cause that pain. But here he stood centuries later with the bitter realisation that he was just like his father: a coward who took the easy way out to save his own skin. He felt it in his bones. The centuries passing by, living over and over again, knowing that it would only end if he saved the other from a certain death. And it was pain like being dragged through shards of glass over and over again when he failed once again. |
