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.
