Dying Ember of Life
A villanelle I wrote for class that I believe came out pretty well.

How do you find the will to go on?

When death is all you seem to desire

when the night ends not to reveal the dawn



when all life's joys seem to turn to a con

and the soul is like a dying fire

how do you find the will to go on?



When all the darkness continues to spawn

and the situation has become dire

when the night ends not to reveal the dawn



when the days of life have become foregone

Allies sound like the voice of a liar

how do you find the will to go on?



When life beats you senseless with its baton

what is left to feel, love and admire?

When the night ends not to reveal the dawn



but do not give in, you must have the brawn

to not let the flame of life expire

still, how do you find the will to go on?

When the night ends not to reveal the dawn
