Story Notes: SPOILERS: kinda for In The Line of Duty

AUTHOR NOTES: Here's the other form of a poem that we've studied so far. It's called a villanelle and basically uses repeating lines. Nothing special. I got the idea from In The Line Of Duty, what will always be one of my favorite episodes!

FEEDBACK: Please let me know what you think.


A lone tear crashes on the windowsill,
The mental battle is being lost,
Broken is the world-weary will.

To fight each day with pain to fill
A mind suppressed by a demon.
A lone tear crashes on the windowsill.

With uncountable time to kill,
Horrors innumerable flood the mind.
Broken is the world-weary will.

His downcast eyes ignore her still,
His heart aching with her captivity.
A lone tear crashes on the windowsill.

Wishful cries go unheeded until
She breaks through for a helpless moment.
Broken is the world-weary will.

Hope reborn like a life giving pill,
She begins to fight for her life once more.
A lone tear dries on the windowsill,
Alive is the newborn will.
