~longing: first ever sonnet

Longing

Our paths; they cross yet they will never meet

I am destined to behold from afar

Long has the battle laid down in defeat

Unaware of the silence that we are.

Idly you stand, full within my arm's reach

Whilst I lay emotionless, deep in thought

Words are unspoken, regret etched in each

This fate is left to chance, a sad tale wrought

Behold! Forever be your love and mine

My heart shall beat awaiting your return;

Fear not, for together, oh love divine

The fire that we protect shan't cease to burn.

As the moon bows to give birth to the sun

We are far apart but we bleed as one
