i think reading it made me grow fangs, my mouth started watering so badly. i’m like a gay man at a straight man’s closet, just itching to call “foul” but not knowing where to start.
MALAFEMMENA (Bad or Sinful Woman).
by Antonio De Curtis (Totò)
Woman
If you had done to someone else
what you did to me
this man would have killed you
and do you want to know why?
Because on this earth
women like you
should not exist for a man
honest like me!
Woman
You are a bad woman
You made these eyes cry
tears of infamy.
Woman,
You are worse than a viper,
you intoxicated my soul,
I can’t live anymore.
Woman
You are as sweet as sugar
but this angel face
you need it to deceive…
Woman,
you are the most beautiful woman
I love you and I hate you
I can’t forget you
I still love you
But you don’t know why
because the only love
you have been for me
And you, for one whim
have destroyed all
But God won’t forgive
what you did to me!….

my first thought comes from the movie, closer:
“thank god life ends–we’d never survive it.”
then my next thought was:
is love so terrible? is love so tragic? what the hell are we doing to ourselves? is the price for great passion, really great suffering?
i really did sit here, and contemplate it. for about…half a second.
that’s gotta be bullshit.
i think the problem is, we just have to stop dating crazy bitches.
or anyone who doesn’t make us feel good.
all of us. you’ve got to really want it. let’s collectively just.
stop.
find someone who gives a damn about you who treats you well. then learn to be happy with it, because that is the rarest, most beautiful thing of all. have beautiful kids who feel your love and become loving people themselves, and if life throws you any bullshit, then make your decisions then. but in the meantime, just find something that you can believe in and feel good about.
