Live everyday like it's your last day on Earth - because you never know when it just might be.


Your arms hold me tight with all of your might.
Your hands long to be the ones to protect.
Protect a boy who cries into the night.
You have a power I didn’t expect.

But I don’t know why I’m so damn afraid.
Why is it so hard to let people in?
My heart knows that I don’t want you to fade.
Still being with you is the sweetest sin.

I know that someday, I want to give in.
Four walls around my heart are stopping me.
And I still don’t know where your heart has been.
I know you’re my key to answer my plea.

Honestly, I do want to be with you.
And on that day, I’ll say “I love you too.”

So this semester in my Poetry class, we started learning a lot about the different forms of poetry. Sonnet was one of them. I found it to be really easy even though I haven't written one in awhile. But anyway, here's the one I did write.
