Amor

Love
I say this word
A thousand times repeated
Perhaps without thinking
Like a litany

Love
I say this word
That becomes empty to me
By dint of naming it
I don't know what it means

Love
Why should I pronounce it?
Feeling this agony
If it doesn't tell me anything
I say it out of routine

Love
What feverish magic
Burning in your eyes
Makes me say that word
If I no longer know how to say it
