I beg of heaven for light of day

For night fills dreams of you with fear

On bended knee in tears I pray

~

What can I do, what dare I say

To break this darkness with love and cheer

I beg of heaven for light of day

~

This deep despair I keep at bay

In hopes you’ll return my cherished dear

On bended knee in tears I pray

~

I never would your heart betray

My passion felt I have made so clear

I beg of heaven for light of day

~

Were I to change would then you stay

Anything I’d do to mend heartbreak severe

On bended knee in tears I pray

~

To you, I promise to never stray

Your honor I’ll guard and never besmear

I beg of heaven for light of day

On bended knee in tears I pray

** I thought I would give a new style a try.  The Villanelle is in the form of A1 B A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 A2.  It is very structured, but was interesting to write.  I would appreciate any feedback you may wish to provide.  Thanks.
