Unrequited Requital (Villanelle) by OneFingerAnswer
The same mistake, twice now made
"Everything will be ok"
"With time the pain will fade"
I thought the price was paid
I didn't think it could be this way
The same mistake, twice now made
Looking back, I feel betrayed
Looking back, what can I say?
"With time the pain will fade"
Pricked without a point, cut without a blade
Lulled then shaken by your sway
The same mistake, now twice made
Stuck now, where we laid
That lonely bed was sanctuary yesterday
"With time the pain will fade"
Poker hand of hearts, ruined by a spade
The loss of chips is part of the play
The same mistake, now twice made
"With time the pain will fade"
