Untitled Villanelle (I thought I saw your face today)
I thought I saw your face today.
Though I knew it was only in my brain,
It hurt when you didn't stay.
My hopes were in the way,
daydreams, memories, crossing stray -
I thought I saw your face today.
It hit me hard, like pouring rain:
maybe you were here, somehow, someway -
It hurt when you didn't stay.
All my dreams of you turn gray,
but one bright picture still remains -
I thought I saw your face today.
But I watched you walk away,
a jumping record, a swirling drain -
It hurt when you didn't stay.
Freshly ripped all over again,
I dropped my head and burnt with shame.
I thought I saw your face today.
It hurt when you didn't stay.
