Sonnet II

I've wished her well as best I could and yet

I know my words reek of a poisoned kiss

Between a soul so split in half they lost

True meaning ere she ever knew my heart.

 

Reconciliation means I've lost my

Purpose? If I ever truly had one.

 

I fell in love so fast, possessed of life

Liberation in her mind, her fingers

Twined and tugging on my breath, her beauteous

Words. Words, words, words. So many words for me.

 

Forgiveness comes to those whose trust is spent

Deserving of a death by loneliness

Found burning in the hottest hours of light

Cooled by the hands of those they've hurt so bad
