Holding to the way things have always been
It’s taking so long but we keep on waiting
Never strong enough to stop it again
Knowing that what we do is just a sin
And that things will only keep abating
Holding to the way things have always been
Never trying hard enough to append
Keeping the status quo so frustrating
Never strong enough to stop it again
Everyone now fixed into this sick trend
That should be destroyed by fumigating
Holding to the way things have always been
Finding others on which we can depend
Willing to stand up for what they’re hating
Never strong enough to stop it again
But for now we continue to pretend
That we are really happy just dating
Holding to the way things have always been
Never strong enough to stop it again

I like the first refrain line..it's how a thought process starts.
I was in awe of the villanelle for almost two years. It used to scare me. Now I can write it and moreover I have written a terzanelle. Do check it out when you have time.
thanks for the nice comment-I will be sure to check out your terzanelle
Wow Chris, this was beautiful!
I love villanelles
Thanks Joy, we did one for poetry Thursday a few weeks ago and I had never heard of them until then. I really enjoyed it.
