a villanelle


Trapped in your headlights like some weakened prey
A fallen halo is the bind that ties
When you're too close and I'm too far away

Your oncoming life brings more disarray
As I swallow whole some more spoon fed lies
Trapped in your headlights like some weakened prey

The truth now just more festering decay
As you hide behind another disguise
When you're too close and I'm too far away

Words become mumbles I cannot display
A time that I have come to so despise
Trapped in your headlights like some weakened prey

I will sew the wounds and watch you betray
And try to wipe memory from my eyes
When you’re too close and I’m too far away

Begin to reform this heart made of clay
The love that we shared has met its demise
Trapped in your headlights like some weakened prey
When you're too close and I'm too far away
