Ten Villanelles- Fifth

5 Maybe it's much too little much too late As I try to rectify mistake after mistake What was shared, I greatly appreciate Too many times I leave things with fate Sleeping when I know I should be awake Maybe it's much too little much too late A zombie existence my current state Existing in life, but not able to partake What was shared, I greatly appreciate Do we have a chance to clean our slate If at all possible every effort I will make Maybe it's much too little much too late I will be whole, but do not know the date The lost sea shrinking now's only a lake What was shared, I greatly appreciate To my words I hope that you can relate There are some things I won't forsake Maybe it's much too little much too late What was shared, I greatly appreciate

Thank you so much for the comment. I wrote these over a couple of days, and now remember this one, because actually with near rhyme it rhymes all the way through, and I didn't like that I remember, but now reading it again, I think I do like it and will probably give it a name. This for me is the thing about comments, let's us revisit our work.
