You closed the door (A Villanelle)

You closed the door and all the lights went dead
I opened it again and saw the sun.
I think by then you ran within my head.

The wind collected all my dreams in red
And blew them off with laughter and with fun.
You closed the door and all the lights went dead.

I saw you in my dream arriving late.
You took me quickly, shot me with your gun -
I think by then you ran within my head.

The devils and the angels let me wait
Until you finished and your work was done.
You closed the door and all the lights went dead

I hoped you’d stay and keep the words you said
But I grew old and I remember none
I think by then you ran within my head.

I would have liked a lover’s touch instead
Someone who stayed and was not on a run.

You closed the door and all the lights went dead.
I think by then you ran within my head.
