Sorrow

Blank eclipses and wooden stares
Marble looks and glassy eyes
Followed by empty open despair

Frozen wasteland, abandoned there
Examined closely and then despised
By blank eclipses and wooden stares

Depressing dreams are never shared
After all, they’re naught but lies
Followed by empty, open despair

Was there ever a reason to care?
So the end draws nigh
With blank eclipses and wooden stares

It’s all a toss up in the air
A random drawing, by and by
Followed by empty, open despair

Maybe it’s something people just bear
With saddened faces and deep sighs
Like blank eclipses and wooden stares
Followed by empty, open despair

Author's Note: This is my first attempt at a villanelle.
