Jolene by Dolly Parton

Summary:

I was listening to Jolene by Dolly Parton and thought it sounds like a good concept for a fic. Though I have listed it as a poem, because I think that fits this better than a story.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Nami Nami Nami Nami

It was always Nami. It's how Sanji started his day and ended his nights. Her name, like a prayer on his lips.

And it tore me apart.

The day I had him join my crew, he had told me. Nami is the reason I am here and if she leaves so do I.

Nami, Nami, Nami, Nami. She'd take him and she could. Away to wherever she wished and I'd stay here. Without him.

I understand it. She could have anyone, couldn't she. With her unrivalled beauty. Praised by all.

She could have her choice in men, but I could never love again.

"My happiness depends on you," I begged Nami, "Bring him back, I know you could," and she did. He came back, for her; against all odds cause he loved her.

Notes:

I haven't posted since last year but I have been writing. They're long form and I never get to finish them which makes me sad. I think I'll try to write shorter fics in the meantime.
