Snare
by Sam Harty
I’ll never forget you standing there,
the last time we said goodbye,
and how you left without a care.
..
Your eyes, those lips, that skin so fair—
now all I can seem to do is cry.
I’ll never forget you standing there.
..
Deep in my soul there lies a tear;
I’ve no more will to try to fly,
and how you left without a care.
..
I thought that you would never dare,
haunted inside until the day I die.
I’ll never forget you standing there.
..
The distance between us I cannot bear,
pain that I can’t avoid or deny,
and how you left without a care.
..
My heart is caught in a wicked snare;
I can’t move no matter how hard I try.
I’ll never forget you standing there,
and how you left without a care.

Hey, My elder sister used to read them to me, and as I grew up, my love for stories only got stronger. I started with books, and now I enjoy reading on different writing platforms. Today, I came here just to read some stories, and that’s when I found your writing. From the very first lines, it caught my attention the more I read, the more I fell in love with your words. So I just had to appreciate you for this beautiful work. I’m really excited to hear your reply!
Emotional, great villanelle
Love this piece so deep in the core for me. Well done thank you for sharing.
It’s very poetic… truly, love turns our lives into a dance between fire and a beautiful illusion.
