Jinny Monologue from The girl with the green eyes

From The girl with the green eyes by Clyde Fitch

female · anguished · 1:04 min

Oh, mine! mine! I know it. You don't know it one-half so well as I! I love you better than anything in the world, love everything of you--the turn of your head, the blessed touch of your hand, the smallest word that comes from your dear lips--the thoughts that your forehead hides, but which my heart guesses when I'm sane! And yet, try as hard as I can, these mad fits take hold of me, and although I'd willingly (die.) to save you pain, still I, I myself, hurt and wound you past all bearing! It doesn't make any difference that I suffer too! I ought to! I deserve to--you don't! Oh, no! I know I'm a disappointment and a failure! [ (Her eyes fill up with tears and her voice breaks.)
