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.
