Far Away: A Villanelle

My heart is so far away,
Somewhere out there calling her.
I’m here waiting for it to return one day.

I tried my best to keep it at bay.
It was too much, it left.
My heart is so far away.

Now it’s just a shadow that lays,
Where my heart used to be.
I’m here waiting for it to return one day

Without it, my life’s been in disarray.
Nothing has been the same without her here.
My heart is so far away.

From December to May,
Wondering what fate it will meet.
I’m here waiting for it to return one day.

As the Sun falls and the Stars rise,
Another day has come to pass.
My heart is so far away,
I’m here waiting for it to return one day.
