Sonnet #5

Love

By ChampionElCidPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Why does it seem that love will elude me?

Many years now no sweet girl to embrace

I bear strong appearance to those that see

Within I hide a melancholy face

I wonder sometimes about lovers past

Wherefore did they leave? What could have been done?

Should I have said more to make the love last?

Was this a battle I could not have won?

All of these doubts play cruel in my mind

They say I will not, They say do not try

There is no hope of a lover to find

At times alone in darkness I will cry

But come what may, be it fortune or stress

I will always make effort to impress

ChampionElCid

I started writing fanfiction and slowly over time have progressed to writing poetry and short stories. On Vocal I hope to continue my writing and slowly begin to make a name for myself.

I hope I continue to impress you...
