You'Re Mine (Villanelle) Poem by Kim Schilling

From the very start you built a wall,
young lover of dreams swept away.
Determined I was to overlook it all

Whispers of promises did enthrall,
still keeping me close, yet held at bay
From the very start you built a wall.

With ring in hand, you stood tall,
pledging to change and not to stray.
Determined I was to overlook it all

Across the sea we flew to Vauxhall.
Of love and care there was no display.
From the very start you built a wall.

One day I caught you glimpsing at Paul.
It finally dawned on me that you were gay.
Determined I was to overlook it all.

I can ignore anything after a highball.
You’re mine. I don’t care what you say.
From the very start you built a wall.
Determined I was to overlook it all.
