Shakespearean Sonnet I

by Cory Bogner {Pisces} - Not entered

The sun sets and the moon and stars begin to rise
And alone I sit in a hall full of commotion.
No one cares to hear my cries;
Am I anchored by my devotion?

I am constantly surrounded
But I am always alone.
Sometimes I am dumbfounded,
I feel my only friend is the phone.

But I feel that connection beginning to fade
Despite the fleeting and failing tries
That I have made and made and made.
Oh, how I fear and curse it's demise.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, though.
But can I be sure that the light will not go?

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this shortly before my fiance left me.  When I went off
to school I missed her a lot and felt very much alone.  After a
while I knew something was wrong, and unfortunately I was right.
