The Final Performance

She had nothing to gain This is my only shot Dance through the pain It wasn’t my fault she didn’t have a main Role. She wanted to see me distraught She had nothing to gain I can see her trying to feign Support by smiling and whatnot Dance through the pain She waited to complain Until I was in earshot She had nothing to gain The tears began to flow down my face like rain Her words intruding my every thought Dance through the pain She’s jealous, get it out of your brain They told me, but I cannot She had nothing to gain Dance through the pain

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The Lord's blessings be with you.

We don't too often see villanelles on this site (though there are some, of course). I enjoy this one. Reading it again!
