I cannot do to you, what you felt. - A Villanelle

Thu, 10/11/2012 - 19:28 -- ASILAJF

Unable to see with the naked eye
I'm so weak, weak with a strong face
Days go by and not one of those I didn't cry

Walk beyond me in the corridors with a fixed glance in the sky
Space in target after you broke where I took my place
Unable to see with the naked eye

I wish I had something to give back to you; to shun you from my life
It would be simpler, for I if you were displaced
Days would go by and not one of those I wouldn't cry

I can't make you feel what I want you to feel, make you want to die
False love is not love absolutely, it’s love that is a waste
Unable to see with the naked eye

But a part of me would rather take all of you; just to survive
Because it takes days before you I could completely erase
Days would go by and not one of those I wouldn't cry

Constantly I attempt to understand why
I’d hate not to see your face everyday
Unable to see with the naked eye
Days would go by and not one of those I wouldn't cry
