I long for touch, and whispers of delight.
To have and to hold were the vows we made.
His bedside is empty, night after night.
I cry in the dark; my tears will not fade.
We built a life together, just us two.
Soon it all came crashing to a sad end.
I sit and contemplate – what did I do?
More than a lover, I lost my best friend.
Forever is stretched out in front of me.
I gave my all and have nothing to show.
Could I have prevented this tragedy,
if I would have known then what I now know?
Forever alone, endlessly single.
Not bold enough to learn how to mingle.
This is my first attempt at a sonnet, so don't judge too harshly :)
