Deceit's Last Thread

A Villanelle of Horror

Deceit's Last Thread

You thought me dead.

Stabbing my head with garden shears.

Was it my deceit that was your last thread?

**

You didn’t just stop there, it appears.

Casting me off the shore with violent jeers.

Was it my deceit that was your last thread?

**

I had a feeling of dread.

When I felt your cold hand grab my ear.

Was it my deceit that was your last thread?

**

The silver blade sliced at my head.

The pain was as sharp as my fears.

You thought me dead.

**

Was it what I had said?

To cause this murderous rage, we were good peers.

Was it my deceit that was your last thread?

**

No matter now, time to switch gears.

I'll lift myself up with this dune grassy spread.

You thought me dead.

Was it my deceit that was your last thread?
