In spite of it all

I cannot count the hearts you’ve split in two,
With liquid eyes and all embracing gaze;
It’s lunacy to fall in love with you.
I took my place behind the eager queue
Who waited for their turn to fight the blaze.
I cannot count the hearts you’ve split in two.
As one by one they found their time was through
You left each broken lover in a daze;
It’s lunacy to fall in love with you.
I watched you as you crashed, and as you flew,
And watched each fool who found love rarely pays.
I cannot count the hearts you’ve split in two.
You gave the World to just a lucky few
The rest are left discarded in the maze;
It’s lunacy to fall in love with you.
I’ll never leave to find somebody new –
You’re stuck with me despite your errant ways.
I cannot count the hearts you’ve split in two;
It’s lunacy to fall in love with you.

Not a good villanelle, I thought it was going to be when I started, but there’s
no flow and no feeling, ah well I’ll keep trying
