Feelings

A Sonnet by Tisha Gail Miranda
Grade 9 - Mercy















I never thought that I would fall for you

For I’ve waited for you a thousand years.

And we’ll be at the church, saying “I do”.

But I have these little kinds of fears

That you will leave me hanging in the air,

Where couples experience pain and heartbreak.

These feelings for you that I cannot bear;

I wouldn’t expect that I’d feel heartache.

But you’re right there when loving me gets hard.

You made me feel like I was a princess

When I felt that my life was in the ward,

And you gave me so much love that was countless.

I am so lucky to have you with me,

Because we sting each other like a bee.
