A Goodbye Villanelle

I raise to you this full goblet,
And now it's time for resolve.
Embrace the new go forward, forget.

With grace you paid, fulfilled the debt.
From promise—You, I absolve;
I raise to you this full goblet.

It ended-filling me with regret.
I wish it were a little problem to solve.
Embrace the new go forward, forget

I say let it be as if we never met.
A bad romance--accept--it won't evolve.
I raise to you this full goblet.

Many good things will come, don't fret.
The world will still revolve.
Embrace the new go forward, forget.

Our love an orb gone into the sunset
The light in darkness did dissolve.
I raise to you this full goblet.
Embrace the new go forward, forget.
