V is for Villanelle - Guiding Light of Love

Your love has become my guiding light
The past took its toll each day
I think of you and all seems right

My adoration grew strong at first sight
Who would think it could be this way
Your love has become my guiding light

The past left me scarred with an ugly blight
To ease the pain that now comes my way
I think of you and all seems right

Filled with angst I’ve learned what might
Become of me if I give control away
Your love has become my guiding light

Anxiety had kept me up at night
Who knew peace would come someday
I think of you and all seems right,

When my life’s adrift and feels uptight
You’re a lighthouse keeping fear at bay
Your love has become my guiding light
I think of you and all seems right
