A Villanelle
Taylor Carter
Love is the emotion everyone craves;
It warms the heart and fills it with joy.
It becomes the main factor in how you behave.
Love is your master, you are the slave;
It plays with you like its toy.
Love is the emotion everyone craves.
Love makes the heart rave.
It creates the feeling humanity enjoys.
It becomes the main factor in how you behave.
Love creates memories you save;
Even the ones you want to destroy.
Love is the emotion everyone craves.
Love digs a bottomless grave
With a happy ending as its decoy.
It becomes the main factor in how you behave.
Love only comes to enslave,
Like a high school playboy.
Love is the emotion everyone craves;
It becomes the main factor in how you behave.
