Villanelle Two xx
xx Back
bound by the emotions in the fragments of your smile
i have become infatuated, losing the sense of words
truly desperate for a taste of your spirit in a vile

never have i been so careless to miss the dotted miles
i have always been more strong, pitying all those cursed
bound by the emotions in the fragments of your smile

i was a bitter loner, fearful of following your crowd
of being touched in ways only a heart can ever allow
truly desperate for a taste of your spirit in a vile

but you held me in your hand as i drowned in a pride exhile
i was lost in your eyes, in your mind, in your heart
bound by the emotions in the fragments of your smile

and though it is you who i awake to every still morning
i have kept myself unique to your love, helplessly forgiving
bound by the emotions in the fragments of your smile
truly desperate for a taste of your spirit in a vile
