Perché Io Lo Amo

Summary:

Once again I stumbled upon a tweet and had been inspired.

A bit brave of me to use some Italian words. Maybe that's the reason why I got inspired to write this poem.

Notes:

The prompt came from FinAmour, brought into life by CumberCurlyGirl. Support the authors! Read their lovely works! Thanks for dropping by!

Work Text:

Because I love him,
I'm afraid of it
The truth was like a cold water
And I'm drowning of it

I fear for his life more than I fear for mine
That I made my last stand with a magic trick at hand

Because I love him,
Why did I let him fall
I let him take his life
And now I'm left all alone

If I told him that I loved him, love him—would it made him stay?
Would he still be alive
Back in my arms
And made him feel loved

I shut myself to the world
And went back into the darkness
Dreaming of gun shots, the pool of blood
Of never-ending sadness

Just one more miracle, a plea, I love thee

Because I love him,
I couldn't bear to see him fall
I was the one who jumped
But he's the one who crawled

So I told him in every way that I can
Without risking his life
The proof of what I truly felt for him
It was written in notes of a violin

Learning the truth, I am torn in between
Of anger, of happiness and relief
But because I love him
I will forgive him

Perché io lo amo
Tornerà, ed io lo aspetterò
