This poem is dedicated to my favorite Brittana book ever. It's called The Knife Thrower's Daughter and it is written by themostrandomfandom. I totally recommend the book if you want to read a fantastic Brittana fanfiction. The book is really amazing, read it! This poem is in Santana's POV.
I joined a circus during the summer of 1898
From Spain to Nebraska I had to immigrate
There, I met a blonde who is just so great
Her eyes were so blue that I couldn't think straight
The blue-eyed beauty was called the knife thrower's daughter
Her father would throw knives at her and she would avoid it like an armor
Everytime she would perform, I would admire her
I have never known anyone who was as brave as her
In that circus, my cartomancy skills were discovered and used
With a skill like this, who wouldn't be amused?
What they didn't know is why I wouldn't want it to be overused
I didn't want them to ask because I am also confused
Someone told me once that I am a bad omen
To my father and grandmother, I am a burden
If you ask where they are, my answer is "I killed them"
But don't judge because it was all so sudden
Someone as pessimistic like me shouldn't deserve someone like the blue-eyed beauty
Even with this curse, she taught me how to love while I am angry
Told her that I am an evil omen but she didn't believe me
If I am going to be honest, it felt so good not being thought badly
The day she told me she loved me was the best day of my life
Finally, in my heart, I didn't feel any knife
Before her, I was considering to end my life
But after her, there's no such thing as lowlife
When her father found out about us, she asked me to run away with her
Just the both of us in an unknown place seems so much better
So I packed my things then suddenly everything became a blur
I saw the cartomancy cards fall from the table it was once were
I picked them up and got tempted to read my future
Those unanswered questions, I want to have an answer
There are a lot of things I want to conquer
And I can't do that if I can't be bolder
I lay the cards down slowly, trying not to think too hard
But at the end, there it was, the death card
After everything, don't I at least deserve a reward?
But who am I kidding? At the end we'll all be in a graveyard
But wait the story is not yet done
And no, we didn't get to run
But I realized that I still won
Because at least I had fun
Our love wasn't just a fling
No, it was a real thing
I felt our hearts bearing
And before dying, she told me "You saved me, darling."
