The Pain is Through (a villanelle-sorta)

not exactly the greatest work of art. Yes, the rhyming seems forced at some parts. That's because it is.


How could I possibly get mad at you?
You won't hurt me like they did in the past.
The battle has ended. The pain is through.

A bond that Hydrogen couldn't outdo-
purchased without warranty, built to last.
I promise I'll never get mad at you.

Unless...everything you said wasn't true?
Too late. The spell has already been cast.
The battle's just begun, and the pain has too.

Fickle things are not fun to pursue,
I'm headed nowhere and headed there fast.
Now I find myself getting mad at you.

I believe some apologies are due.
No. I knew the answer. Why did I ask?
The battle goes on, but no pain's felt by you.

Where are you now? I just gave you your cue.
Turns out only your heart was built to last.
I have every right to get mad at you.
Battles end, but the pain is never through.
