Literature Text

I want to retreat into you,
And hide inside the rain.
Because the world is going skewed
And those things keep me sane.

For one day, what would be the cost
To once again feel whole?
To trade in ever too much loss
For pieces of my soul?

Alas, it has been days and weeks--
Not long and yet too much--
Since I could find and search and seek
The solace of your touch.

And until you've arrived again,
My soul will just have to pretend.
.....that I could write a sonnet if I had to.


I wouldn't like it, but I could.


INSERT SAPPINESS WARNING HERE.... oops, too late, sry.

Didn't quite make it to iambic pentameter, but i was iambic! And Shakespearean. BUT with a Petrarchan Volta, ergo, I'm awesome enough to make up for lack of pentameter. Or something.

Anyways. Did I mention I don't like this? But I felt the need to assert my ability to write something fixed.

.......I just forgot that I can't write fixed anything.
