Vilanelle Try 2

Shambles.
My life is a house set on fire,
I watch as the frame crumbles.

Beneath me the ground rumbles,
My fate becomes that of my home: dire
Shambles.

I run away and my feet, the house, trample.
Yet, I stand in the same place, viewing things transpire.
I watch as the frame crumbles.

A crazy man, struggles to put out the light, humbles
Himself to save the burning pieces before they expire.
Shambles.

I watch him, warily, as he fumbles
The dying light of my life, uninspired.
Shambles.
I watch as the frame crumbles.
