I Need You [Terzanelle]

by HOLLYWOODxBANGBANG   Aug 8, 2007


I need you now more than ever, [come back to me];
Let`s throw away the drama, start this over again,
I need you now more than ever, [come back to me].

And I know that I can change, I`ll seal it with an "Amen",
But it`s up to you to find the long-lost trust in me,
Let`s throw away the drama, start this over again.

It`s either I`m with you, or I`m alone; that`s how it`s to be,
Because I know I`ll never find another man like you,
But it`s up to you to find the long-lost trust in me.

I know I hurt you, I admit that I never thought it through,
I can`t go on living another day like this,
Because I know I`ll never find another man like you.

I long for just one more night that ends in a sweet kiss,
I need you now more than ever, [come back to me];
I can`t go on living another day like this,
I need you now more than ever, [come back to me].

The Terzanelle is a poetry type which is a combination of the villanelle and the terza rima forms. It is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets/tercets plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the first triplet appear as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is repeated, reappearing as the last line of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the center line of the next-to-the-last stanza which appears in the quatrain.
