Found an old sonnet I wrote

I think I was trying to toy with the sonnet form and sway from a sing-songy form of the iambic pentameter to something a little more jarring, which is in line with the subject matter of the poem when compared to the usual lovey dovey sonnets out there. This was only a second draft so it's still a work in progress, that is if I ever return to it =p


Forever Bitter

Her comely countenance will draw you in.
Her soft, enchanting touch will make you stay.
The nymph, the muse, will drive you mad in sin.
And then without a care she’ll cast you away.
Her innocence is striking and her cold
Naiveté is staunch. No dignity
Encumbers her up on her pedestal.
Her childishness spawns insanity.
For her I suffered for eternities.
I protected her from all that might occur.
I cared after love faded – she didn’t see.
No more love songs will be written for her.
.....She understood nothing of me from the start.
.....I should have saved my youthful hopeful heart.
