A Thousand Sonnets

I write to vent.... my reason, the pain of an unrequited heart.  I must be cautious that my lamenting doesn't askew the literary balance.  The jilted black sister theme is tired but I could write it in a thousand sonnets.


I loved you so much
once I WISHED I was your cat
now what is your name?
