No End, No Light

Do you see the end in sight
our minds gone, wandering the never,
I cannot find the light.	

Vile beings in the night,	
tormenting us to complete insanity,	
Do you see the end in sight.

We're told its our imagination that makes us fright,
But we are cast into the darkness alone,	
I cannot find the light.

This trepidation clouding what is wrong or right,	
surrounded by fear, doubt, and abnormality,
Do you see the end in sight.	

Even though I push and try with all of my might,	
This life has cast a shadow upon me,	
I cannot find the light

I remain a creature of the night,
for I know nothing more.
Do you see the end in sight,	
because I cannot find the light.

A very nice attempt to write a villanelle with equally nice refrain, Bruce
