Trying to Start Again
Villanelle
The lies and the pain make me not want to stay,
because all people are mean and ruthless.
My new life will begin like a new day.
All who know me as I have gone astray.
I want to leave behind all the malice.
The lies and pain make me not want to stay.
When night comes I go down in bed to lay.
In my dreams I drink from a gold chalice.
My new life will begin like a new day.
In the night darkness and dragons, I slay.
I have been forced out of my great palace.
The lies and pain make me not want to stay.
What is it that I’ve done that I’ve to pay?
My life of a dream has fell to darkness.
My life will begin like a new day,
I can only sit, bow my head and pray,
That my world is wonderland like Alice.
The lies and pain make me not want to stay.
My life will begin like a new day.
