Author's Note: This particular poem is a quite sad one and is a very poetic description of "A Broken Heart," rendered in the Villanelle poetic format. This poem is a continuation of my ongoing exploration and examination of what happens and what thoughts occur when a person (in this case -- a man) finds himself in the progressive aftereffect of a relationship torn asunder. In this sense, I believe the poem speaks for itself. (Gary Bateman - November 14, 2014) (Villanelle)

A Broken Heart
I have a broken heart so sad with sorrow,
My love’s full of such anguish and fear;
My soul’s afire with pain for the morrow.
My heart seeks such a palliative yarrow,
My thoughts are shattered, no longer clear;
I have a broken heart so sad with sorrow.
My desire’s gone, a victim of a much harrow,
My emotions are awry and bring no cheer;
My soul’s afire with pain for the morrow.
Your anger strikes my heart like a poison arrow,
Your evil intent revealed with no sugary veneer;
I have a broken heart so sad with sorrow.
I live my life now with no surcease of sorrow,
Your former love declarations ring now so *****;
My soul’s afire with pain for the morrow.
My spirit’s in tatters from your hateful harrow,
And your face now haunts me with a nasty leer;
I have a broken heart so sad with sorrow.
My soul’s afire with pain for the morrow.
