Villanelle
Reality falls away While my nose disappears into a book I wish that I could stay The world is nothing but gray Nothingness, emotionless crooks Reality falls away When all goes astray And everything has me shook I wish that I could stay But how can I stay Forever in a nook Reality falls away But the truth wants to outweigh Fiction I mistook I wish that I could stay But at the end of the day A story one must not overlook Even if reality falls away And I so wish that I could sta
