I followed the day 11 prompt from napowrimo.net and wrote a villanelle. This took some time, and I don't believe it's great, but there are some lines in here that I would like to use in a different poem, may be a Pantoum instead.
Villanelle
I want to bring you close,
dispel the memory of gray carpet
where everything is worry or rage.
I remember the tears you spilled
pooled into a mirror. I am your mirror.
Let me bring you close.
When you held me in your arms,
I did not know fear,
now I want to bring you close.
I remember your sadness as a papercut
cupped on your tongue
where everything is worry or rage.
I remember when your voice
was the sharpest point in the room,
now I want to bring you close
safe from your worry and rage.
