Natasha-Jayne Wigley Poet Sonnet

Don'T

There's something about you I cannot escape,

Your eyes tell a story that I need to know,

My heart is rapidly losing its shape,

Wondering how I can ever let go.

My head reminds me that you're out of reach,

My soul disagrees and makes me believe,

I don't wish to burden, I don't wish to preach,

But please never go; forever I'd grieve.

You brighten my days and offer release

For the tricks my mind plays and the lies it can tell,

I'll stand by your side and keep you at peace

If you promise to stay here and help keep me well.

Nothing is worth it, and nothing is right,

If on our friendship you say goodnight.
