Moving On

A Sonnet by Rinson Joy Taborada
Grade 9 - Mercy

Your love is like an ocean full of lies,

Because every time I see you, I fade.

First day I met you, I felt butterflies.

As seasons change, like leaves, they start to fade.

When I thought I had moved on from you,

My feelings came back like a rushing wave.

But then, I now call someone else my boo.

Now it’s time to face the fears and be brave.

My happy moments are suddenly here.

The sadness and pain have finally left.

Now, pick up yourself and smile, my pretty dear

For happiness will never leave you deaf.

Stop the nonsense and gently move on.
For letting go of things is never wrong.
