Just An Echo

Venice

Is this real?
Or is this just another nightmare?
Did this just really happen,
Or am I imagining it?

You were just there,
Struggling for your life
While I was trying to open the damn lift
Why didn't you let me?

Please answer me,
I beg you darling.
I don't care if you are a double cross
I just want your heart to beat again.

I want to see your big blue eyes again,
I want to hear your calming voice
With every push on your chest
I hope for your eyes to flutter open

But they won't.

I loved Venice before,
Now I hate it,
For killing you in the floating building
While I was desperate for your life.

I sail my ship alone,
Lacking your wonderful self
Debating whether or not to drown myself
To be back with you.

It's hard to come back here every year,
But I do it anyway.
Walking up to that dreadful building
Where I make an Algerian Love Knot on the lift.

I still see you taking your last breath,
Screaming for forgiveness
Sinking in the water while I watch
Unable to help you while you kiss my hand.

You died in Venice,
I live by Venice,
You loved Venice,
I'll die in Venice.

Hello!

This is another poem told from James's point of view about Venice. When he says "I live by Venice" he means he lives for it and according to what happened there and not physically by Venice because we all know he lives in London.

I hope you enjoyed this poem because it kind of wrecked me while I was writing it! :( Thank you for voting/commenting/reading! It's really appreciated and means a lot!

Casino Royale has been updated though so enjoy as well!
