In spite of it all
\nby cricketjeff on January 29, 2011.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nI cannot count the hearts you’ve split in two,
\nWith liquid eyes and all embracing gaze;
\nIt’s lunacy to fall in love with you.<\/p>\n
I took my place behind the eager queue
\nWho waited for their turn to fight the blaze.
\nI cannot count the hearts you’ve split in two.<\/p>\n
As one by one they found their time was through
\nYou left each broken lover in a daze;
\nIt’s lunacy to fall in love with you.<\/p>\n
I watched you as you crashed, and as you flew,
\nAnd watched each fool who found love rarely pays.
\nI cannot count the hearts you’ve split in two.<\/p>\n
You gave the World to just a lucky few
\nThe rest are left discarded in the maze;
\nIt’s lunacy to fall in love with you.<\/p>\n
I’ll never leave to find somebody new –
\nYou’re stuck with me despite your errant ways.
\nI cannot count the hearts you’ve split in two;
\nIt’s lunacy to fall in love with you.<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nNot a good villanelle, I thought it was going to be when I started, but there’s
\nno flow and no feeling, ah well I’ll keep trying
