Villanelle

With the dying sun,
the light of a whole life dies
when love is done.

There is no place to run,
and a lonely child cries
with the dying sun.

Carrying a burden which weighs a ton,
she will fail to rise
when love is done.

Travel onward one by one,
sounding lonely sighs
with the dying sun.

Every story that has been spun,
proves to be just lies
when love is done.

Forget that the world has just begun,
look up to the skies
at the dying sun,         
when love is done.

(inspired and possibly plagiarized from "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" by Frances William Bourdillon)
