My First Sonnet - Your Joy


It seemed as though all of your joy had died
The way you shut me out and built a wall
You seemed so pained I had to wonder why
I only caught a glimpse but that was all
Still I can tell you're hurt, what do you hide?
That's something I don't think I'll ever know
What do you feel? What do you keep inside?
Who are you underneath the front you show?
The only thing I found in you was me
And all I thought you were was but a dream
A ghost, a silhouette, a fantasy
You were a shadow cast upon a screen
Although I'm not sure what I sought in you
It seems somehow that I have fought for you
