Jamie Rogers Poet Sonnet

The First I Ever Commanded

ONE EMPTY HEART 
ONE SWOLLEN FACE 
TWO LOVERS DIED 
NEVER AGAIN TO EMBRACE
WE PRAY THEY FIND SOMEONE TO HOLD
AS THEY DID ONE ANOTHER 
LIKE THE BEST STORY EVER TOLD
BUT ONE WAS UNSPOKEN 
THE OTHER UNCONTROLLED LASHES OF HER TONGUE
HE LOST HIS WANT TO SWEEP HER AWAY.
SHE WOULD CUT HER TONGUE OUT TO MAKE HIM STAY.
HE NEVER KNEW SHE WAS ONLY HIS
SHE NEVER BELIEVED HE TRULY WANTED HER
THEY COULD NOT GET PAST JEALOUSLY LIFE WOULD SERVE
INSTEAD THE GAVE UP ON ONE ANOTHER
HE REFUSED TO PUT HER FIRST 
SHE FAILED TO SILENCE HER TONGUE
HER CURSE IT WAS THAT TOOK THEIR LIFE AWAY
HAPPINESS NOW SEEMED SO FAR AWAY
APART THEY COULD NOT EXIST MORE THAN A FEW DAYS 
SO HE GREW TIRED AND ANGRY WHICH MADE HIM GIVE UP
AND SHE DIED INSIDE WITHOUT HIS LOVE
