Another Sappy Love Sonnet
Since life is hard, to deal with love I’ve brought
A mantra tried and true, and old as dirt:
That of waste not, want not; date not, flaunt not;
To hide yourself from love protects from hurt
Without my walls I’m slain by every strike
Exposed myself to lonely longing spears
I’m naked from my love and lust alike
And shaking from the bitter winter near
Your name like music and your face like light
Have torn my walls and opened up my heart
To pain and pining from your very sight
It matters not if we’ll not be apart
Perhaps my walls’ protection has grown old
Since love feels warmer once you’ve felt the cold
