POEM STARTER
Please, leave alone my broken soul
Write a vilanelle that includes this in it. A vilanelle is a nineteen-line poetic form consisting of five tercets followed by a quatrain.
Broken
Please, leave alone my broken soul.
Loving you is hard.
I give you my heart.
And you rip it apart.
Please, leave alone my broken soul.
Sick of the lies.
All of my silent cries.
Damn these soul ties.
Please, leave alone my broken soul.
Time is sparse.
Your heart is bitter and tart.
I thought it was till’ death do us part.
Please, leave alone my broken soul.
I must go now.
I refuse to be a clown.
On to a new town.
You ask me why and how.
Don’t pretend to care now.
