Contradictory Past and Present

Dating, Oh! so much fun doing new things
This person is perfect in every way
Movies, pop corn shared, touch, a brush__ heart sings
Just want that caress, the arm around_ stay

Now awaken to another day_ no play
No brushes, that gentle caress gone, left
Control norm making demand; no sun rays
No I will not go to a movie_ deft

Dying on the inside daily
Longing for love, acceptance, fun again
Could be just a walk in the woods_ babe
Sitting close or lying on couch in den

Soon I'll be gone no longer home __near
I'll go out to find myself, my soul, love

The beat of this sonnet moves it along nicely. I like the alternating rhyming scheme and how they interplay in each stanza. This piece certainly paints a picture in the eyes of the reader. Sad or glad; it's bad! Great job! Joseph
