Villanelle

Down in the Dark a paper heart I find
Its warm and soothing pink I wish to keep
Now in my empty soul it is confined

Amidst shadows of hatred I'm entwined
But when inside someone's glee soul I peep
Down in the Dark a paper heart I find

Its brilliant red flashes in my mind
And into me its fluids slowly seep
Now in my empty soul it is confined

Engulfed in sorrow and woefully bind
From someone's smile light radiates and leaps
Down in the Dark a paper heart I find

Its golden rays shine forth in grand divine
Illuminates into my spirit's deep
Now in my empty soul it is confined

It opened eyes that once by darkness blind
And passed it on for others safe to keep
Down in the dark a paper heart I find
Now in my empty soul it is confined
