Dove

“ Villanelle “ Shall I call it Defeat?

My empty heart beats
without any flames
Shall I call it defeat?

Once Love was sweet
But you had no shame
My empty heart beats

As the blood drained to my feet
Only embers remained
Shall I call it defeat?

Your truths so incomplete
Your lies even more lame
My empty heart beats

Like a city without any streets
Or a country without a name
Shall I call it defeat ?

Your affections were bittersweet
Your kisses were never the same
My empty heart beats
Shall I call it defeat?
