My Immortal (Terzanelle)

by Bryan   Jun 12, 2007


This is a terzanelle to my immortal heart,
Tired of going through the same old pain,
May it end, may my soul finally depart.

So hard to deal, its just so hard to explain,
About what I go through, what it does to me,
Tired of going through the same old pain.

One day she will know, one day she will see,
How she hurt me, maybe she will now care,
About what I go through, what it does to me.

This just isn't right, this just isn't fair,
Hope she enjoyed it, I hope she knows,
How she hurt me, maybe she will now care.

I've given up, I know it will never go,
This pain is like a sweet sad melody,
Hope she enjoyed it, I hope she knows.

I sit here writing for everyone to see,
This is a terzanelle to my immortal heart,
This pain is like a sweet sad melody,
May it end, may my soul finally depart.

The Terzanelle is a poetry type which is a combination of the villanelle and the terza rima forms. It is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets/tercets plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the first triplet appear as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is repeated, reappearing as the last line of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the center line of the next-to-the-last stanza which appears in the quatrain.

    Wow...That's awesome! It was so beautiful. The words were very....I dont know the word for it....deep--no thats not it--well I cant think of the word, but the idea was that I felt them. This poem was very wonderfully written and I loved it. I don't have any critiques because I don't know much about Terzanelles and it all looks and sounds excellent. Keep it up!
