Love's the cure [Sonnet]

by ASPHYXIATED   Apr 22, 2007


The darkness shows our life's pain,
The agony we witness day after day,
Failing to be perfect, A mother's shame,
And those nightmares you'll never slay.
The light proves we are all fake,
Inside we're dying outside we smile,
Faking it all for our false lovers sake,
Hoping someday it will all be worthwhile.
Hours blend into the passing days,
And emotion we all still fail to feel,
That empty feeling forever stays,
Not broken so not possible to heal.
Until the reason to live appears before you eyes,
Love will cure even the most painful cries.

--This is old.
I Just found it on my laptop. <3

    Superb expression of emotions in this poem, sad until the final lines when suddenly it gets happy, just like how love affects people in real life. Top drawer

    ''Inside we're dying outside we smile,''

    I love that line...it hit me hard...so touching.

    This again was beautifully written, very well expressed, and as I have been trying to write a sonnet for months now, I know how hard they can be, yet you have mastered this beautifully.

    I particularly love the ending two lines, very hardhitting.
