My second attempt at a villanelle….
Within my heart there is you
Even though you are gone
This time you left me with nowhere to go and nothing much to say and do.
From the empty pieces of my tainted heart and the vison of your view.
I think of you forever and from time to time I say this in reassurance and there is you and I feel like a con.
Because I needed your tragedy for this work of art but I do love you yes I do
I never did intend to use you
I lost you now love, as the many far and few and now you’re long gone
And now I fear there’s nothing I can do but write this song to you.
And now I am in love with a mere thought of only and just only you
I write about the loved and the lost and take your love and try to make it look right from wrong.
Hoping that I will get caught by your arms again and you.
I love you….I love you…
Be safe and do not do wrong
because darling; I do.
Hoping you will come and rescue me from myself too
Hoping someday you will find me in your heart and find my song.
Hoping you did not put me on a shelf and put me in your heart like you used to
Hoping for a new and better start; a better start within you.
