Sonnet

U sadistic fallen angel

How dare they call U a gift

To write it down is shameful

But I may have caused this rift

Did your mother, Moon, disown U?

Was my tampering to blame?

Your tears of crimson hue

Have sparked a searing flame

For years U never spoke

Now U never cease your scream

What demons did provoke

The raging of your stream?

Alas, we are one: not a U or a me

I pray time’s tide will gesture in what is to be

I keep us tucked away

safe in the folds of an untouchable then

That’s where we’ll stay 

Unless, perhaps, we’ll be us again

This you who hates, 

Who is he? Was he always there?

My heart’s odd love creates

A distance I just can’t bear

Flash forward to my wedding day:

You’re nowhere to be found

I was born to be this way

I was born with you around

How could a love so gentle

Be so conditional?
