| I found her in a dirty little cafe in an obscure part of Reno, sleeping in a
|
| corner
|
| Her features suggested further beauty, but the picture she presented just made
|
| me shiver
|
| I thought of the endless nights just searching with a handful of indications,
|
| most of them were useless
|
| Now that the journey was over I wondered, was it worth it, what had happened to
|
| the girl
|
| Carmella, people call you the mystery star
|
| You live on as a legend, but I searched for the truth
|
| Carmella, you have haunted me ever since when I once featured beside you with a
|
| one-sentence line
|
| I ordered two double whiskey sodas as I needed all the courage to go and wake
|
| her
|
| Then suddenly, two eyes burned right through me — I wanted to be certain who
|
| sat before me
|
| She told me that there were many reasons about her disappearance,
|
| the torment she’d been through
|
| Surgeons had ruined her sister’s face, then they made her take her place,
|
| but Conchita couldn’t act |
