Only One

My lips not curve, when he walks into a room My eyes not heed to see this face all known Chores will not stop, my hand knows more the broom And still he starts, cause cleaning not for stones My love for him not empty, but not full He gazes, for his memories are in play And yet I feel like unexamined spool I know he's reminiscing of our younger days A girl that had fallen for a man And a boy that had fallen for a time It took him some, when he finally took that stand But when I saw him, I already knew he was mine But now we've aged, and our love feel's like it's done But, then again...we are each others only one

Hey, you did pretty good here. Knowing you probably prefer slam, is this one of your first sonnets and is it for that one contest? YOu really followed how it's done: with the rhyme and syllable count! Good luck, Jessica. LUv, Andrea
