What Happened To Us

We only began to know what could be And already it seems things must end Time changes people even you and me I guess there never really existed a we Strangers now before you were a friend We only began to know what could be In the end once again it's only I you see No more thoughts of hope will I send Time changes people even you and me Every day this world loses more glee Everything breaking nothing will mend We only began to know what could be I am a boat and loneliness is my sea I can't keep sailing against the wind Time changes people even you and me What will be in my final fading decree I try to break the wall but you don't bend We only began to know what could be Time changes people even you and me Written by Wayland Bunch II 7/3/2021

Fine writing, Wayland. Villanelle are a favorite for me. I enjoy writing them and use the form fairly often. This is your first poem I have read. Keep up the good stuff!

I almost only use the villanelle. It's repetitive but I find power in that. At first I thought it would be hard but really like the form. Also quatern and a couple of others but absolutely love the villanelle. Thanks for your comment sorry I'm barely replying.
