Days Go By [Terzanelle]

Time passes so slowly now that I'm really alone -
Wishing and hoping that you will come back one day;
Sitting in this place, I guess I should've known.

People come through but I don't hear what they say,
They are not sharing the same dream -
Wishing and hoping that you will come back one day.

Life passes by and nothing is what it seems -
Day one days one thing, but it's different the next;
They are not sharing the same dream.

I'm broken apart; physically a wreck -
I'm living my life, day by day, on a prayer;
Day one days one thing, but it's different the next.

I'm seeing things each day that aren't really there,
As you're off fighting in this awful war -
I'm living my life, day by day, on a prayer.

Days Go By and my heart is so sore -
As you're off fighting in this awful war,
Time passes so slowly now that I'm really alone -
Sitting in this place, I guess I should've known.

Terzanelle
The Terzanelle is a poetry type which is a combination of the villanelle and the terza rima forms. It is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets/tercets plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the first triplet appear as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is repeated, reappearing as the last line
of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the center line of the next-to-the-last stanza which appears in the quatrain. The rhyme and refrain scheme for the triplets is as follows:

1. A
2. B
3. A

4. b
5. C

A great terzanelle, there were just one or two things that were a little off in it but nothing that really bothered me. Great job. :]
