Wayland Bunch Poet Villanelle

Ten Villanelles- Sixth

6

I have searched constantly, no one there
Loneliness accompanies me in this quest
So much left undone, so much left to share

If this is a race, I'm the tortoise, life the hare
Sadly passes and renders test after test
I have searched constantly, no one there

To make myself a victim, I will not dare
I surely have blame, you know this best
So much left undone, so much left to share

Lately I don't even have my time to spare
Misery loves company, but I have no guest
I have searched constantly, no one there

Uncertain of anything, into the past I stare
Knowing what I sacrificed leaves no rest
So much left undone, so much left to share

I have put forth everything, laid myself bare
Wanting you to understand, I became a pest
I have searched constantly, no one there
So much left undone, so much left to share
