Love Lies (attempting a villanelle)
Tomorrow will you lie to me And dry my falling tears to dust And set my shadows free. Today you turned and cried to me And dripped your promises to rust Tomorrow lie to me. Just yesterday you sighed to see This image. You inspired my trust And set those shadows free. Yet any other night we’d flee Where lies are gone and truth is just. Why sorrow? Lie to me. Tomorrow and tomorrow see How lies have grown as ever must The shadows yet unfree. Tomorrow will you lie to me While yesterday grows dry as dust While sorrow ever lies and we Like shadows are not free?
