I Just Love You More
A Villanelle
I just love you more
I give you caring apologies and flowers
The tears just pour
•
Your hurt inside begins to soar
I dishonor your request to cry alone for hours
I just love you more
•
I sit next to you on the floor
I call you strong, you call me coward
The tears just pour
•
I pick your meds up from the store
I can’t remember the last time I showered
I just love you more
•
Today we danced, like we did before
Your heart says we’re fine, your mind’s shouting louder
The tears just pour
•
In sickness and health, you’re mine and I’m yours
During the sweetest moments, and the days of sour
I just love you more…
The tears just pour…

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.

This is well done. I'm not loving villanelles but I think.this one is pretty good actually.
Relatable. Nice poem, Alexis.
