Lost Love, Lost Heart (A Villanelle)

entry picture

The emptiness of your heart haunts my soul.

The taste of bitterness still lingers here.

A lovelorn dagger plunged deep, takes its toll.

 

Entwined, our two halves would've formed the whole,

Images shattered. Love has disappeared.

The emptiness of your heart haunts my soul.

 

Passions dancing, emotions take control,

Fate's cruel hand then blurred our love unclear,

A lovelorn dagger plunged deep, takes its toll.

 

Cherished memories slowly fall then roll,

No longer special, less a souvenir,

The emptiness of your heart haunts my soul.

 

Your absence aches, I'm crushed by love's black hole,

I crave tenderness, yearning to be near

A lovelorn dagger plunged deep, takes its toll.

 

No flicker of hope for the heart you stole,

Realising love's future looks austere

The emptiness of your heart haunts my soul.

A lovelorn dagger plunged deep, takes its toll.

Thank you both, and Bethany, I think that will be Quid Quo Pro

Faultless JD-now let me see what lines I can nick and store in my Aladdin's poetry cave for five years until I let the thieving Genie out of the bottle? 😂
