A Sonnet For Johnny

Your love is music to my soul, It is more lovely than any melody that replays in my mind, Notes fly through my heart that was once coal, I was blind Now I can clearly see since your rhythm set me free, Soft wind hums through my ears As you sing to me, Your soft voice drives away all my fears. But love never lasts in one's life time, Pardon me as I lay down my guard While you walk a mile in pursuit of a heart breaking crime, You played me like a card. and I awllowed all of this pain Never again will I play this game.
