An Almost Villanelle
Dripping, drizzling day
All the colors seem dull
Everything fades to gray
I want to drift away
Over my thoughts I mull
Dripping, drizzling day
My hand, it does stray
Over the trigger, it'll lull
Everything fades to gray
The day to end today
I'll take a short stroll
Dripping, drizzling day
Nothing can go my way
I soon will pay my toll
Everything fades to gray
I tied the noose today
Paid the toll in full
Dripping, drizzling day
Everything fades to black
