disappointment on 72nd street: a villanelle (3-9-14)

i can't imagine life after today
but i know that i'll continue on
there are no more games left to play

i haven't figured out what i'm to say
denial of your betrayal is forever gone
i can't imagine life after today

there are orders that i will obey
expectations of cooperation counted on
there are no more games left to play

my thoughts, like you, have started to stray
regret and bitterness breaking with the dawn
i can't imagine life after today

you want me to be quietly out of the way
so your guilt won't rage so strong
there are no more games left to play

there's nothing left in me that wants to stay
i have finally tired of being your pawn
i can't imagine life after today
there are no more games left to play
