Villainelle
by A. Paige White On this pillow a bright penny will lay.
But understanding cannot be bought
When hes gone so far away.
One of many in a teary cache
To purchase his absent thought;
On this pillow a bright penny will lay.
From fearful words I had to say
His heart and soul is much distraught
But understanding cannot be bought.
For his love, Gods love, I did betray.
The price for sin my heart is taught
On this pillow a bright penny will lay.
Tormented by demons I could not slay
Nor can I love God as I ought
When hes gone so far away
With me, for my fears, he cannot pray
Because he's snared and surely caught
On this pillow a bright penny will lay
When he's gone so far away.

...just a villanelle... through and through.
