    My attempts at a Villanelle

    The voices they talk, run they're in my head


    I don't want to listen stop all the cries
    No I think this time I will stay instead

    Many rubies I have secretly bled


    too many times I have loved their eyes
    The voices they talk, run they're in my head

    Drops on my pillow is where they were shed


    just let me love him like your sick despise
    No I think this time I will stay instead

    Tonight they caress, tomorrow wish dead


    the broken heart it grabs me by surprise
    The voices they talk, run they're in my head

    Shut up! Shut up! You cannot make me dread


    you fools be quiet you suck at disguise
    No I think this time I will stay instead

    He mended my heart with his golden thread


    the love inside me I can feel it rise
    The voices they talk, run they're in my head
    No I think this time I will stay instead
