Villanelle – Hidden in the Dark

It is still; dark outside,
no signs of morning
and in darkness we hide

or new secrets confide
which contain a warning:
It is still dark outside.

In the shadows, my pride
feels more like mourning
and in darkness we hide.

I regret that I lied;
now to God I am turning.
It is still dark outside

but I have chosen my side.
Now my fate; I am learning
while it is still dark outside
and in the darkness we hide.
