Fluorescent Lights and Coffee Spoons - A villanelle

In the rather dull middle of the day
I sit and wonder where you've gone
Has all of your passion just withered away?

Where is the sunshine where we used to play?
Into the shadows our smiles have withdrawn
In the rather dull middle of the day

Have we forgotten so soon just what to say?
As your queen swiftly defeats my lowly pawn
Has all of your passion just withered away?

Light forces the honeyed moon to fade to grey
Sleepy fingers beckon with the curtains drawn
In the rather dull middle of the day

Is this cruel world sure to keep laughter at bay?
Or will the light in your eyes once again come on
Has all of your passion just withered away?

In our bed alone where we once lay
When were these lines between us drawn?
In the rather dull middle of the day
Has all of your passion just withered away?
