The eerie silence, the disappearing echo. "Goodbye" you said as the door slammed shut. The emerald eyes, the woman's stiletto. A love that was crushed like a cigarette **** The lies that lasted, the love that did not. Your sweet nothings were no longer sweet. The trigger of a gun, the loudest shot. A love filled of regret and deceit. The flood of tears, the blood stained hands. A love so distraught and never to last. The screaming sirens, the constant demands. A love that remained in the past. You left me for her but you paid the price. You're to blame for your own demise.

Leaving
The eerie silence, the disappearing echo. "Goodbye" you said as the door slammed shut. The emerald eyes, the woman's stiletto. A love that was crushed like a cigarette **** The lies that lasted, the love that did not. Your sweet nothings were no longer sweet. The trigger of a gun, the loudest shot. A love filled of regret and deceit. The flood of tears, the blood stained hands. A love so distraught and never to last. The screaming sirens, the constant demands. A love that remained in the past. You left me for her but you paid the price. You're to blame for your own demise.
This is a 14 line sonnet that I wrote in English Literature at college.
