Dear Lily (Villanelle form poem)

When I looked into your eyes
and beheld your flaming hair,
I felt the weight love implies.

The snow banks were on the rise,
but warmth replaced the cold air
when I looked into your eyes.

From between your round, smooth thighs, 
kissing you with divine care,
I felt the weight love implies.

Then I saw through your disguise,
and saw dependence and despair
when I looked into your eyes.

When I found your stash of highs
and you said, “last ones, I swear!”
I felt the weight love implies.

On the day of your demise,
I kissed you, I stroked your hair,
and I looked into your eyes.
I felt the weight love implies.
