Oh fickle foes or maybe friends? once a beginning but now an end Once loyal yes, by my side the night now is a groom-less bride the sun is dark or maybe clear the brave with swords now draped in fear but all the ocean's deep and wide that gave me truth don't ring bonafide the slender fellow so debonair but now my eyes won't look, won't dare oh fickle stars or are they lights? the open arms now give me frights oh what is up now is down what she had worn; a pastel sheer gown now is dark with coal torn i say torn! oh fickle hearts that beat like drums now only make me fear of some..
days ahead or maybe past? what once came first now comes last of fickle days or maybe years? no longer bring joy but only fears oh fickle souls that once were kind now are dim, they once did shine the lake is hard white with ice i then cared not but now it's thrice oh fickle thoughts between my ears i say, changed to worries and changed to fears dark and heavy like a rock once a metronome now a ticking clock in my palm the world ahead but all is left is dead dead dead once a caress now a slash what once was real falls as ash and once it goes to the floor what once was real is no more oh fickle foes or maybe friends it then was given but now i send
the fallen trees that touched the grass they are not there now for me to pass the books on shelves that i once read now lie burning dead dead dead
the footsteps left in the rain once made me laugh but now, what pain!
the moon that hung above my head has turned to sun dead dead dead
Oh fickle ways the earth reminds It once was lost, but near i find Oh fickle hands that I use what once was truth, I dare say, a ruse The poem written by my pen now are chores Again Again The sun rises but then it sets the stars come out and this i let for what the day will come to bring i cannot call i cannot sing oh fickle strings that pull the earth will give thou death but also birth.
