It's Time!

A Villanelle

Tentatively I prod my weary heart

Like a child to it's parent,

"Wake up! Wake up! It's time!"

I've felt guilty, knocking first for a start

Though I cannot help but be aberrant.

Tentatively I prod my weary heart.

Your attention was a big hill to climb

As I tried not to be too apparent.

"Wake up! Wake up! It's time!"

Throwing down my navigational chart

At the risk of being errant

Tentatively I prod my weary heart.

Tired of waiting until the prime

My giddy terror inherent.

"Wake up, wake up, it's time..."

We danced to a song about a sweetheart

And I thought "Be transparent."

Tentatively I prodded your weary heart

"Wake up! Wake up! It's time!"

Author's Note

I was struggling a bit with the punctuation, where to end with periods and what not. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
