Sonnet 2

If the beatings of my heart were anything to go by

No longer do I feel the sizzling passions of romance

For I feel the sizzling hotness of hatred disguised

Then love has bid me bye

For a while you were my bride

You were everything I could think thrice

My soul you could see without fright

I bare boldly my life before you like a file

Yet you chose to damper my thoughts

The bristle was all you could save for me

From your lips my nakedness was exposed

Fate this day has portioned me fraught

To live with it have I chosen for free?

For my love has incurred me reproach.
