Bette Bavington Poet Villanelle

We Were Not Promised Another Day

As I look in the distance I see the new grave.
It's a realization
As feelings come to me in a tidal wave
Of how much companionship and love you gave
With out any hesitation.
As I look in the distance I see the new grave.
I am trying to be brave
To cope with this sudden separation
As feelings come to me in a tidal wave.
I really don't know how to behave.
I have never lost any one who meant so much 
Yet wasn't a blood relation.
As I look in the distance I see the new grave.
I can only say don't cave.
Last year was our greatest vacation
As feelings come to me in a tidal wave.
Oh! Dave.
How will I make it through this new transition
With out your cooperation?
As I look in the distance I see the new grave
As feelings come to me in a tidal wave.
