Villanelle

Max Larson

It’s all I can do…
I tried and I try
I’m still hurting for you!

Ever since I met you
You landed in my eye
It’s all I can do…

Like a sweet taboo,
That life should contrive
I’m just hurting for you!

I can’t talk to you!
So this piece I write—
It’s all I can do.

No matter what I do,
I barely survive.
I’m still hurting for you!

God will strike me if I lie
And with this I’ll summarize:
It’s all I can do.
I’m really hurting for you.
