The Folded Ways Your Eyes Cave

I can show you why, but I cannot save You from yourself, and The folded ways your eyes cave. Dead ending lies, and flies, and skies pave Me a brickroad over a No Man's land I can show you why, but I cannot save. You thought I was going to beg and crave Well guess again, because I cannot stand The folded ways your eyes cave. I watched madness sweep you up in its wave That was not expected; Not what you planned? I can show you why, but I cannot save. You found such pleasure in the pain you gave Out by the second, wasn't it grand? The folded ways your eyes cave. What began as love forced me to slave Away at the image of what was at hand I can show you why, but I cannot save The folded ways your eyes cave.

The only part of this that isn't ace is "to beg and crave". No, I don't know how to fix it.

Maybe you could do something like,

"If you thought I was going to beg, to crave
You, guess again, because I cannot stand..."

And I like "way" better than "ways".

I did for a 'while' too, but then I changed my mind, twice now.

Because her eyes fold in so many different ways, I've come to discover, unfortunately.

Isn't the 'folded way' only one of many ways that her eyes cave? How many ways can one's eyes cave that can be described as 'folded'?

villanelles are tough poems to keep fresh from stanza to stanza with all the line repetition... very well done, solid on the form and vivid in content.

Dude, was that you singing? Or did you just mix it all? (Your music that is) Not because I care really, but I must tell you. I was impressed. Very original, funny, and quite different. We could actually tour together, are you interested?

We just broke up yesterday because I'm moving to the Middle East in a month. When I get back, I'll still be under 30. I'll give you a call.

I sang the Raleigh track and co-mixed.
