Sonnet of Surrender


I wish you could see you as I see you, So for a little bit, let me break through, Through walls of stubborn mortar and hard brick, I promise you I will be very quick. Your smile dances all across my mind, Your sweet voice leaves my heart in a tight bind. Your soft eyes shine brighter than any star, How I wish I wasn’t so very far. My heart cries, begs, and pleads to be with you, So I can show my love for you to be true. So I can show you a world lost from view, Our hearts soon to be born fresh and anew. I wish you could see you as I see you, Forever and a day, let me break through.
