Villanelle

Abandoned in your carefree sleep,
your innocence a shield of brick,
you cannot hear me as I weep.

I watch you lie, the lies go deep
and yet I know your grubby tricks.
Abandoned in your carefree sleep,

you've no idea the watch I keep.
The layer of proof is soft and thick.
You cannot hear me as I weep,

because I know your talk is cheap.
What you profess is full of shit,
abandoned in your carefree sleep.

The lies are real, you've gone so deep
you fool yourself, you are so glib.
You cannot hear me as I weep.

You'll someday know what you have reaped.
I keep my counsel, while time ticks.
Abandoned in your carefree sleep,
you cannot hear me as I weep.
