Lin Lane Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

I Wonder

When my days turn dim and nights grow chill,
I wonder, does he sometimes think of me still.
When darkness continues to last without end,
I wonder, has he found a new intimate friend.

Tossing upon these crumpled bed sheets,
I wonder, who doles to him such sweets?
When sleep alludes me for restless yearning,
I wonder, when will love for him stop burning.

Long ago he told me he hates to be all alone.
Does it ever cross his mind to use the phone?
And if he called, what would we think to say,
I shouldn't wonder, it will not happen that way.

After all this time,  it's better that we remain apart.
It's the only way I know to salve my wounded heart.

Vladislav Raven January 5, 2016 at 5:28 PM It is strange how in the Sonnet we can let our true thoughts sing out. I have known the moments and the pain as many have. The memories and thoughts are always there. Love never truly ends Lin it is one of the true eternals. I think a part of everyone i have ever Loved is in my Soul. Lin, a beautiful Sonnet....Vladislav.

Tim Smith December 9, 2015 at 3:07 PM I'm sure you both think of each other from time to time, when lonely or sad. It is only natural. You gave your heart to him. Part of you will never stop loving him but you are doing the right thing. Lovely Lin Lin Lane December 9, 2015 at 5:52 PM Thank you so much, Tim. You speak from experience, and you're right about everything you wrote. ;)
