What now (villanelle)
Without you by my side
all the pain comes to the fore.
There is nowhere left to hide.
All this hurt I can't abide
Life feels just like a chore
without you by my side.
As I sit by your graveside
and my heart breaks even more
there is nowhere left to hide.
For all the tears that I have cried
Joy doesn't live here anymore
without you by my side.
And so I swim against the tide
and it's you I cry out for.
There is nowhere left to hide.
In whom shall I confide?
Never questioned heretofore.
Without you by my side
There is nowhere left to hide.
First attempt at a villanelle - had to be done :)
