Recall this is a vigil, not a fight
A quiet hand demands a quiet mind
Don't think about tomorrow; you'll be right.

Protect my puzzling soul and keep it white
For under judgement it would fall apart
Recall this is a vigil, not a fight

I'm sure that if you look back on this night
Your sightless messangers will see a waste
Don't think about tomorrow; you'll be right.

Devotion of my spirit's at its height
(I told you I was bad at proving love)
Recall this is a vigil, not a fight

And leaving you is not a callous flight
But longing separates - I've seen it done.
Don't think about tomorrow; you'll be right.

In torturous empathy, I know your plight
I know the sadness tembling in this calm
Recall this is a vigil, not a fight

I'm called away to flourish as I might
I will come back if you forget I'm gone
Don't think about tomorrow; you'll be right.

Excitement for the sunrise is not spite,
But hopes for all my mind I may ignite
Recall this is a vigil, not a fight
Don't think about tomorrow; you'll be right.

A villanelle about the night before two lovers have to part (I'm spending all of my summer in Rhode Island for Summer@Brown, Maine to see my family, and all over the place for softball tournaments, and won't see him for nine weeks - this is I'm sure what our farewell will be like)

Sightless messengers = neurotransmitters (or hormones?)

i love the part that says don't think about tomorow you'll be right ... it decieved me into thinking you wrote "alright" but then a moment later discovering it wasn't led me to take the line as a non assuring statement .. it wasn't you'll be alright .. because you wont be? ...

heheh .. be this far from what you were going or close, i quite enjoyed the double story it played in my head.

"Recall this is a vigil, not a fight"
I love the way you utilize this phrase... it's repeated in just the right manner at the right times and gives this some cadence. Great work. :D
