sonnet (older work)

last year i took a creative writing course in school, the first half consisted of writing short stories and learning terms for writing. the second half was all about poetry. we learned to write multiple types of poems but my absolute favorite was the last poem we wrote, the sonnet. i wrote multiple sonnets, and finally settled on one. 

Fire devours my entire being

You say it’s cause you love me

I’m clutching at straws, seeking

Deliverance from your love will never be

Yet you whisper sweet nothings in my ear

I’m reminded again, how it was when our love first bloomed

Its back to where we started, not drowning in fear

Then I blink and you’re screaming, pain erupts and once again I’m consumed

I’m crying, trying to picture any way out

Say kiss and never tell

I’ll find my haven, a world without you, I have no doubt

Dreaming of a place away from this hell

          Forget my name, forget my face, forget my entire existence

          So long as I live, this is my rebellion, this is my resistance
