Villanelle: Overdose
So the words by now are just a faint blur
With tired eyes that can hardly see the page
And it would seem I cannot find the will to stir
I have spent my life as a sinner
Pumping my veins full of poison each day
So these words by now are just a faint blur
How hard it has been to live and endure
Without my mind lost in a golden haze
And it would seem I cannot find the will to stir
I tried to give up the needle for her
I swore to put down my self destructive ways
So the words by now are just a faint blur
I have failed you, my love, with this chemical killer
Trapped forever in its twisted, malicious cage
And it would seem I cannot find the will to stir
Its so hard to breathe and I know there's no cure
While a darkness has begun leaking into my gaze
So the words by now are just a faint blur
And it would seem I cannot find the will to stir
