A villanelle about crushes and missed chances.
With smiling lies and words we scarcely know,
glances and suspicions could never tell.
Our eyes betray the indifference we show.

Silence, the way an icy wind might blow,
freezes passion where love barely could dwell,
with smiling lies and words we scarcely know.

Frostbitten feeling falls to gloom below.
Stiff gestures and flushed cheeks we know so well.
Our eyes betray the indifference we show.

Fate! How it works to melt this frigid woe.
Its awkward chances that aim to compel,
with smiling lies and words we scarcely know.

Another missed chance; we reap what we sow.
Missing fate’s nudge, it bids bitter farewell.
Our eyes betray the indifference we show.

Love’s blight relapsing in apathy’s snow.
Come back to me fate and end this cold spell!
With smiling lies and words we scarcely know,
our eyes betray the indifference we show.
