Missing You (Villanelle)

You are daytime, night our separation

To see you is morning, to see you go is evening

Please come back, I am a world without a sun

Time like a candle without a flame, awaits your presence a beacon of creation

Under a coal sky, the night away I’m crying

You are daytime, night our separation

My cry falls from a black lake, a lamentation

An appearance of you is daybreak, please stop my grieving

Please come back, I’m a world without a sun

Your absence my blindness, our world a division

Beneath my sea you nest, loneliness I’m feeling

You are daytime, night our separation

I’m but a shadow when you are not around, in desolation

My body a pitchy ground, for your light it’s begging

Please come back, I’m a world without a sun

Memories of ash trample my world, a silver coloration

You make my world your art, for your love I’m crying

You are daytime, night our separation

Please come back, I’m a world without a sun
