Ten Villanelles- Sixth
6
I have searched constantly, no one there
Loneliness accompanies me in this quest
So much left undone, so much left to share
If this is a race, I'm the tortoise, life the hare
Sadly passes and renders test after test
I have searched constantly, no one there
To make myself a victim, I will not dare
I surely have blame, you know this best
So much left undone, so much left to share
Lately I don't even have my time to spare
Misery loves company, but I have no guest
I have searched constantly, no one there
Uncertain of anything, into the past I stare
Knowing what I sacrificed leaves no rest
So much left undone, so much left to share
I have put forth everything, laid myself bare
Wanting you to understand, I became a pest
I have searched constantly, no one there
So much left undone, so much left to share
