Some die waiting, or laugh forgetting (Villanelle) by Shardik
Take good care of yourself when I'm gone
Yes, I know you wished us forever
Better out with love than in with none
I'll keep this dusk, and leave you a dawn
Cause, if I don't depart now, I may never
Take good care of yourself when I'm gone
Stay a red queen as I play the blue pawn
When jealous pride was forged to sever
Better out with love than in with none
Looking back, I see you leave a light on
Six years passed by, and so did my fever
You took such care, you forgot I was gone
Your poppy itch nods & your stay lover yawn
Adapted faster than memories should ever,
But better out with love than in with none
If getting on with life's a race, you've won
I see your favourite word's still "whatever"
So take good care of yourself when I'm gone
I'm better outside your love than inside with none.
