A/N – This is my first attempt at writing a villanelle poem.

Jack's loss of all known reason,

And the end of an happy life,

Caused by the stress of Nina's treason.

Betrayal by a close enemy,

And the murder of one beloved Teri,

Jack's loss of all known reason.

Years pass by since the tragedy,

But still she stay in his thoughts,

Caused by the stress of Nina's treason.

A vengeful murder he regrets,

Not because of, but for needing to,

Jack's loss of all known reason.

Never again will he be the same,

Never again will he be truly sane,

Caused by the stress of Nina's treason.

Even when he dies and leaves life,

His memory marked by these events,

Jack's loss of all known reason,

Caused by the stress of Nina's treason.
