Too Bright

Your presence is as soothing as summer sun,
To be with you throughout the night as well.
Days without you makes my heart weigh a ton.
During the night, what else to do than dwell.
All I have is all, I always give you.
In return, I ask for your sun today.
If your sun isn’t for me then it’s for who?
The moon comes up and it just wants to stay.
Though I can still find your light through the stars.
The darkness takes my love for you away.
In between you appear to be on Mars.
The light comes up and you start to decay.
The day brings me clarity to your light.
All along I find that you were too bright.


The author's comments:

This poem is a sonnet, a sonnet is a poem of fourteen lines using any of a number of formal rhyme schemes, in English typically having ten syllables per line. I use the ABAB couplet and iambic pentameter. My sonnet is about a girl who is deeply in love with a boy. Though she is starting to realize it is a complete one sided love and he wasn’t who she mad him out to be.
