ASKING MYSELF

Asking Myself (12/02/96)

Wondering, dreaming about my future
And comparing my today with others
And comparing others with their yesterday
And I’m asking myself about life.

Are you truly waiting for me, Destiny?
Is my book already finished?
Have I already written my verse? (Not, I am sure!)
Should I write it for the sake of others?

And I am asking myself about life.
Still looking for you in the fog.
Still waiting for your light to enlighten my way.
Still waiting for your heart to heat up my love.

Who will be my God?
Will be that which everything buys?
Will be that which in pleasure hides?
Will be you, eternal smile?

Death, are you looking for me?
I want you to meet Immortality.
Should we, three, sign up the pact?
To die for an immortal life?
To live for a forgotten death?

Would you clean my sweat in tiredness?
Would you dry my tears in sadness?
Would you quench my desire below the moonlight?
Would you cleanse my blood in my death?

And I’m asking myself about life?
Am I the chosen one?
Why have you brought me that far?
Is this dream the true lie?
Is this nightmare the true answer?

Could I, then, share the secret?
Is anybody aware of it?
ANYBODY!! do you know what I am up to?
Would you tell me who I am?

Could I share it with you? my always dreamt.
Should you read these verses, by chance?
Would you understand me and my path?
Should we stick each other as long as we live?

I am leaving…
My beloved one, don’t cry
Be proud of me, I love you.
My good friend, don’t revenge.
Look after my place, I praise you.

And I’m asking myself about life.
Dawn is coming. My part in the play is arriving.
Questions are turned into actions, I should act
And be silent.
