Watching the world go by β€”- [ villanelle ]

tallisman

He waits to watch the world go by

As nothing ever stops

It’s enough to make a grown man cry

 

The sun goes down behind the mountains high

And darkness suddenly drops

He waits to watch the world go by

 

He wonders where his enemies lie

It’s not knowing who to fear

It’s enough to make a grown man cry

 

He knows he can’t win, but he has to try

They can always find him here

He waits to watch the world go by

 

He has nowhere to run and will not deny

He holds their secrets dear

It’s enough to make a grown man cry

 

The secrets always he will keep

Though the fear runs ever deep

He waits to watch the world go by

It’s enough to make a grown man cry
