Following ‘In My Time of Dying’

by Kumaproogey

This is a villanelle poem about Dean’s feelings after the Season 2 opening episode and throughout the season.

I am taking a poetry class this semester and we had to write a 'villanelle poem.' This is mine, Supernatural style. It's called 'Following "In My Time of Dying"' because it's Dean's feelings after the Season 2 opening episode and throughout season 2. Reviews, criticisms, & comments are always welcome and much appreciated.

Following 'In My Time of Dying'

Hazel eyes softly flutter and water pools.
Heart breaking, inside silently weeping.
Can't be saved no matter how hard you try.

Weight of the world upon your shoulders.
Sadness seems to be continuously heaping.
Hazel eyes softly flutter and water pools.

Days bring bitterness and the night feels colder.
Dark abyss of grief continually deepening.
Can't be saved no matter how hard you try.

Courage growing, every day feeling bolder.
Loneliness still in the shadows creeping.
Hazel eyes softly flutter and water pools.

In the background, the pain still smolders.
At times I find it slowly seeping.
Can't be saved no matter how hard you try.

With every day, I feel myself getting older.
Days and nights get easier for sleeping.
Hazel eyes softly flutter and water pools.
Can't be saved no matter how hard you try.
