Wait; don’t pull the sheets, just yet Give me a moment to breathe, to let the last tear fall A broken heart still lies on an unmade bed Let the smoke clear of the red stained cigarette It’s funny, how even in daylight, a whisper darkens all Wait; don’t pull the sheets, just yet What is love, if not an exciting game of roulette? Time played its hand; better place a bet, fate now holds the ball A broken heart still lies on an unmade bed To be fair, it wasn’t all blood, tears and sweat Who was the winner who was the loser? It was far too close to call Wait; don’t pull the sheets, just yet Tell me, would I be easy, to write off as a love lost; to forget Or do you, like me, spend sleepless nights, for a late night phone call A broken heart still lies on an unmade bed Don’t close your eyes, there isn’t much to regret I’m not ready yet, to release my breath; for the curtain call Wait; don’t pull the sheets, just yet A broken heart still lies on an unmade bed -പ്രിയാന്ഷി ദാസ്‌

Curtain Call (Villanelle)
Wait; don’t pull the sheets, just yet Give me a moment to breathe, to let the last tear fall A broken heart still lies on an unmade bed Let the smoke clear of the red stained cigarette It’s funny, how even in daylight, a whisper darkens all Wait; don’t pull the sheets, just yet What is love, if not an exciting game of roulette? Time played its hand; better place a bet, fate now holds the ball A broken heart still lies on an unmade bed To be fair, it wasn’t all blood, tears and sweat Who was the winner who was the loser? It was far too close to call Wait; don’t pull the sheets, just yet Tell me, would I be easy, to write off as a love lost; to forget Or do you, like me, spend sleepless nights, for a late night phone call A broken heart still lies on an unmade bed Don’t close your eyes, there isn’t much to regret I’m not ready yet, to release my breath; for the curtain call Wait; don’t pull the sheets, just yet A broken heart still lies on an unmade bed -പ്രിയാന്ഷി ദാസ്‌
