Simple Sonnet

Twice Life Refused

As I to you believed in your ability

That fleeting power of self sacrifice…

Then I did hope yourself would you commit to me

When life itself not death- presented twice

Two lives entwined we could as lovers be

No death could o’ertake our hearts and minds

But you reject the possibility

That mortals could toge’er happiness find

As You to I confessed your inability

That e’er present ‘xcuse of mortal birth

Saying strengths were not what once you held them be

But I knew that you could not see my worth

Now I alone in solitude do live

Lacking what you once refused to give
