Petrarchan Sonnet III

by Cory Bogner {Pisces} - Not entered

Everything seemed so simple before-
I floated on air and there was a sparkle in my eye.
But maybe, just maybe, I was living a lie.
I was content, I didn't want anything more,
But story-book lives are things of lore.
I realized this when she said goodbye
And left me with nothing but the question, "Why?"
I feel like an apple stripped of it's core.

I guess I have to look on the bright side,
I can find a way to recoupe.
This really is no reason to quit,
I think I can take this all in stride,
Yes, maybe I can regroup.
But, to be honest, I really doubt it.


Reason for writing:

    Love lost.  Comments welcome.
