About This Poem

The Last Sonnet

No more lunches that we share,
no more talking on the telephone.
No more stories to compare,
our secrets now are known.
No more trips to the Derby,
our final bet has been placed.
No more trips to the sea,
all our dreams have been erased.
No house where we will share a life,
that's all gone for good.
No asking you to be my wife,
even though I wish I could.
This is the last sonnet written for you.
Setting myself free, is what I must do.

    I actually read this one aloud and I must say I think it added to the impact. It's always sad when we must say goodbye... what was heartbreaking about this though is that by the descriptions I got the impression that leaving her was very unexpected and unplanned. It's quite dramatic but it did it's job... I am deeply moved.
