My Heart It Never Lies

my heart it never lies with the morning light I pause and close my eyes dawn is a lovely prize still I unpack each night my heart it never lies she presses on my thighs soft and wrapped in white I pause and close my eyes dawn’s warmth is but disguise I feel her cruel bite my heart it never lies she slowly makes her rise then showers golden bright I pause and close my eyes staring in her mirror I reach for something sharp my heart it never lies I pause and close my eyes

Almost, almost a very good villanelle...the second line of the last stanza could use a little tweak....perhaps something like "grief-stricken by the sight" or something different? Just a suggestion...I enjoyed reading your work and hope you will show us more. Thank you!
