Sonnets

English sonnets are lyric poems that are fourteen lines long falling into three quatrains and a concluding couplet. They are written in iambic pentameter with every other line ryhming. 

Gift of Life

She stood on the bridge and began to cry

She wiped away tears from her bloodshot eyes

She's done with effort and hates to still try

She's done with it all and just wants to die

She listened closely as the wind did blow

What was waiting for her, she did not know

She's been told she is a freak of the show

She's read to leave and is letting go

Would it be scary if this girl was me

I am a girl that they don't want to see

I'm fading slowly and getting blurry

I'm shackled in chains and want to be free

Is it a gift of life to breathe and live

It's a gift I didn't ask them to give 

True Love

It's a story I can read countless times

A picture so brilliant that I cry

A person I live for until I die

An affection so deep I ask you why

Never worry when I know it's okay

Never leave you when I want to stay

It's the tiny and simple things you say

It's you that makes me wake up every day

Even when the times do get very tough

You're always there with me and that's enough

I'll love you even when the times are rough

You're more important than expensive stuff

It's the stupidest things that you will do

These very reasons are why I love you

Jordan: FAIL

He said that our love would last forever

He was nothing close to a Prince Charming

I knew our relationship wouldn't last

Now it's over and I couldn't care less

He was the lovesick one, it wasn't me

I didn't have any feelings for him

I don't even know why I let him in

But it's said and done and I am now free

I'm cruel, cold, and a heartless bitch to start

I'm numb to my feelings and emotions

It's what the course of two years did to me

It starts with Tyler and ends with Jordan

Ask me if I care even though I don't

Love is a novelty in a nightmare

I watch as insects crawl across the walls

The ceiling reveals a cloudless night sky

The cold evening air closes in around me

My deepest fears and nightmares come alive

I scream so loud but no sound can be heard

I close my eyes and wish for it to end

The other side of the bed it empty

The absence of you I can’t bear feeling

This one night feels like a lifetime to me

I toss and turn, cry and scream; I’ve gone mad

There is nothing left to help me hold on

I want nothing more for me to be gone

I need you with me to make things all right

I need you with me to make it tonight
