Lolo's Villanelle
Concrete dust was in my hair and coated my skin.
Alone in the concrete box, I cry and let out some sighs.
Completely alone, I am dying, and I cannot win.
?
Lighting a cigarette and sucking it in,
I tried not to think of her eyes
Concrete dust was in my hair and coated my skin.
?
I took the names of those women and threw them in the bin,
And the tears started falling as I remembered the lies,
Completely alone, I am dying, and I cannot win.
?
How Can I even begin to explain my sin?
As I shackled her hands to the bed with those ties?
Concrete dust is in my hair and a part of my skin.
?
The multitude of pleasures that came with their skin,
I realized that with all this, I still had not attained my prize.
Completely alone, I am dying, and I cannot win.
?
The place that was once my home was no longer an inn.
As I look at the concrete structure of my life a part that is not yet dead of me dies.
Concrete dust is my hair and my skin.
Completely alone, I am dead, and I begin.
