Love Sonnet
by: Shannon Firestone

You’re in a constant yelling match with your mom
Everything in your room has to be clean
Always planning what country you would bomb.
Hiding your emotions making sure they’re never seen

We go through our lives trying to ignore each other
It’s hard to do when the only thing on our minds is sex
You even know me better than my brother
The thing that hurts the most is being addresses as your “ex”

You sometimes act like I mean nothing in your eye
That passion we once had is long since gone
You will never know how many tears I used to cry
You’re the only one that could have made me feel this alone

I don’t really know what I can do
All I want to do is show you that I still love you.
