4. Villanelle

Let Me Say

I will always be in pain with you
The day was empty, we ceased the night
But when I give up; promise to see me through

Lie along with me to cover what’s true;
For me to talk like this is the matter of fright –
I will always be in pain with you

He said, with no regard to my point of view,
Cover your eyes to conceal your sight.
But when I give up; promise to see me through

Ignore me, what’s your problem? Haven’t got a clue!
This pitiful yearning towards the limelight…
I will always be in pain with you

You are nothing; this is all spite and I spew
There are no more tears, no more skin to bite
But when I give up; promise to see me through

The day had left us; the sky painted with blazing hue
On the road from here to forever; you and my knight
I will always be in pain with you
But when I give up; promise to see me through
