Where I Am Is Where I Am Not

A Villanelle

By EudaiLifePublished about a month ago Updated about a month ago 1 min read

Where I am is where I am not

Casting myself instead to you

Yearning for the touch ever sought

-

Anxious and waiting, days fraught

Losing heart, the pieces now few

Where I am at is where I am not

-

Such magic I believed I’d caught

Certain I was I’d found what’s true

Yearning for the touch ever sought

-

Yes, Time and I, oh how we’ve fought

Reminders of all I’d undo

Where I am at is where I am not

-

To forget you, I think I ought

Too much need, in you, I imbue

Yearning for the touch ever sought

-

You onwards lost, and I distraught

Forever hoping to break through

Where I am is where I am not

Yearning for the touch ever sought
