Shadows close over my heart like nightfall,
Trapping me in cold eternal darkness.
My love - oh, my spurned love! Why should I crawl
Back to you, begging for your forgiveness?
I bear no anger or hatred, my dear,
Nor the least resentment toward you.
I understand: we were consumed by fear,
Confusion shrouding our feelings most true.
I love you, but I no longer want for
Your devotion, nor your loving embrace.
Move on, my love! I will never forget our
Friendship before our ties we erased.
Yes, two can be one if their love is strong,
But one can't love two if his heart is true.
Sonnet (Shakespearean)
M. Knight
2009


This piece probably deserves some explanation, but I don't feel like explaining the motivation behind it. Suffice to say that I was required to write a sonnet for my creative writing class and, after having no ideas for days and days, I finally poured this out in about twenty minutes.

In my opinion, though, this is poetry at its purest. There's not a whole lot of flowery writing, and although the scheme of rhythm and rhyme is admittedly complex, the message in the poem is simple. Raw emotion is woven into the words on that page.
