Literature Text

Despite the lies you’re making
I need you
You’re mine for the taking

I can see that you’re breaking
I need you to see
Despite the lies you’re making

In the heat, you’re baking
I need to find a key
You’re mine for the taking

Everything you are forsaking
I need you to let it be
Despite the lies that you’re making

Now my body is aching
I ate the fruit from your toxic tree
You’re mine for the taking

Despite how far you’re breaking
I need you to see
Despite the lies you’re making
You’re mine for the taking
Yet another villanelle. Again I used =Mattiello's "How to Write Villanelles" to guide me through the process.

It reminds me of Skillet's "Whispers In the Dark".


Anyways, its amazing.
I can hardly write free verse, I can't imagine trying to write something structured.
