GONE AWAY

This poem is actually an example of villanelle. The villanelle carries a pattern of only two rhymes, and is marked most distinctively by its alternating refrain, which appears initially in the first and third lines of the opening tercet. In all, it comprises five tercets and a concluding quatrain.

-------------------------------------------------

I woke up but you've gone away
With a note left on the wall.
Now I've nothing left to say.

We're together yesterday.
Now I cry as I recall.
I woke up but you've gone away.

I stood into the doorway.
I've waited until nightfall.
Now I've nothing left to say.

I stopped waiting in dismay.
Tears rolled on my cheeks and fall.
I woke up but you've gone away.

Days had passed and now's Sunday.
Would you even make a call?
Now I've nothing left to say.

Will tomorrow be okay?
I just could not guess at all.
I woke up but you've gone away.
Now I've nothing left to say.
