Love Leaves You in Chains (A Villanelle)

It’s the pain of the game
They say time heals all
Because love leaves you in chains

Grief on an insurmountable range
We’re both villains in each other's eyes
It’s the pain of the game

My chest now blood stained
My heart no longer in its box
Because love leaves you in chains

Watching you leave on that train
Thinking about all of the lies
It’s the pain of the game

Now my life will never be the same
Feeling trapped in Hell like Dante
Because love leaves you in chains

Was this destined from the moment you came?
Is this a sign of the end days?
It’s the pain of the game
Because love leaves you in chains
