![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us My sorrow is in prison; trapped like I, My purpose in life has left with the wind, I want to break things, but instead I cry. I come to myself and my tears I dry, My mind is in turmoil, love's cycles blend, My sorrow is in prison; trapped like I. I walk outside and I stare at the sky, I ask it where is my lover; my friend, I want to break things, but instead I cry. Something is dreadfully wrong in my mind, Although she gave warning this was the end, My sorrow is in prison; trapped like I. She decided to write to say goodbye, I keep thinking she'll be back in the end, I want to break things, but instead I cry. I know where she is and she isn't nigh. I'm sitting here alone, trying to mend. My sorrow is in prison; trapped like I. I want to break things, but instead I cry. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

The villanelle form intensifies the deep emotions and makes them even more powerful. What a brilliant write of a heartbreak! |

Thank you so very much, suthern. You are right, the villanelle, if done correctly, intensifies and makes the drama so much more dramatic, I love the form. ~*~ they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Masterful piece of writing! The expression of sorrow so deep with this repetition for emphasis. Great work Jerry. Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |
