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
