Ten Villanelles- Second

2 Always the hint of hurt is the words I say Sadly I don't know what else can now be I began with only one message to convey Lost, hurt, unable to control pain as I lay A great journey began, but I'm lost at sea Always the hint of hurt in the words I say Looking for happiness I continue to stray Never finding what will finally set me free I began with only one message to convey My words deceiving, to and fro they sway Truly this is not who I am, not the real me Always the hint of hurt in the words I say Some seem to think it's a game that I play As if causing pain is what will give me glee I began with only one message to convey I tried to hide, find my peace, see my way The path was too convoluted for me to see Always the hint of hurt in the words I say I began with only one message to convey

Thank you again for the kind words, and I do like these. Sometimes I will revisit something of mine, and no one has commented and I'll give myself a pat on the back lol, but your comment stopped me and showed me that some of these really need names.
