I wrote this over the course of an hour. I decided to try to go with a Sonnet without the typical sonnet theme. It is in the 4/4/4/2 scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet, with abab, cdcd, ee rhyme scheme, but it is not as light hearted as most in that form. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. This is actually the first time that I have tried to fit something into a rhyme and stanza scheme.

Blue eyes piercing my heart and soul with ease;
You know me and play me like a fiddle;
I will be there, so you do what you please,
While I wait here and my thumbs do twiddle.
Wings of ambition carry you away,
Across the hills and further from my heart;
What you look for I could never quite say;
If only I could have a fresh new start
My heart has no blood to bleed anymore;
Now it bleeds only sorrow for such loss;
Bind the wound and set me free, I implore,
From this crucifixion on love's bleak cross.
Perhaps I could be happy once more here,
If I could hold you just once more, my dear.
