Doppelgänger

Walking down the sun-lit road
On sunset, ah, day is ending
As I took slowly the steps ahead,
And there was the piano.
The piano music, slow, sorrowful,
The playing of a skilled lone maestro.
Lonely, lonely, sorrowful tunes.

The swings in the park move then,
As if ethereal children mount them;
Carry them afar, around, round they go.
Watery puddles drip, drip, drip,
Like light rainfall, like small showers,
Invisible needles of liquid fell.
But the beautiful sunset, perched upon
Precarious buildings, lay its shadow
On the sunless ground.
Its seductive orange light summons up
The grim image of the park.
And each shadow of each tree uncover
The children climbing branches;
On sunset's day, on sunset's day;
Standing in flower petal showers.

Continue the path and I spot the maestro
With a beautiful sorrowful tune;
Unnatural smile, empty eyes and all;
This Doppelgänger plays the piano with my hands.

I had to copy paste the a with the umlaut just because I loved it so much.

Anyway, I have some obsession with Doppelgängers, and I had to write about them at least once.

Persona 2 inspired me for this one. Youtube the opening for Persona 2: Innocent Sin. It's amazing.

Anyway, as usual, comments please.

I see where you got all this now xD /watched the intro for persona2

there's a movie called Doppelganger, too. But its a Japanese horror movie. The story was interesting, like most of it's genre, its more of a psychological horror than a gory one. It was about a man who encounters (2?) of his doppelgangers as they mess with his fate. I forgot how it went and how it ended x _ x; it was years ago that I watched it. xD
