Villanelle

Fickle friendships come and go
The ones you thought would be pious and last through any endeavor
You just never truly know

Like sunshine on the newly fallen snow
It will be gone sooner than ever
Fickle friendships come and go

Boxers hurt you with a blow
Friends with a litany of promises of always together
You just never truly know

Only these can make you feel so low
While standing on a platform, they pull the lever
Fickle friendships come and go

The seeds of friendship you as a zealot did sow
But they make sure they last for never
You just never truly know

Their cynicism they did ominously show
Through translucent emotions, don't let them control your life forever
Fickle friendships come and go
You just never truly know
