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
