A little assignment to write a villanelle.

Darling Dearest where've you been?
Your sweet kisses have been missed.
You were my lover. Not my friend?

All these days they set a trend;
It seems that "we" have been amiss.
Darling Dearest where've you been?

Dare I try to comprehend?
Before your bite, there was no hiss.
You were my lover? Not my friend!

I have to ask you yet again.
(Because the nights they were such bliss-)
Darling Dearest where've you been?

You set a trap and caught me in...
I can't believe what's come of this.
You were my lover. Not my friend.

And even still, all wants within.
Though I'll only lose my wits.
Darling Dearest where've you been?
You were my lover. Not my friend.



Note - I just felt the need to point some "old me". -posted 06/2015
