Moving On

A Sonnet by Karl Philip Dondoyano

Grade 9 - Mercy

I loved you to death but I was stupid

To believe the lies I saw in your eyes.

For I thought I was struck by a Cupid

And I believed your river full of lies.

And it hurts to know that you have moved on.

But I guess this is the meaning of love.

Now, I’m waking up and seeing the dawn;

Letting go of the past, just like a dove.

A million mem’ries we shared together

Are slowly starting to fade like a rose.

But I guess we don’t have that forever.

Your like a drug that I was overdosed.

So farewell, my drug, but I’m letting go.

Time to go back to the past and say, "Woah."
