A Letter to My Former Lover

• Artist: Kinky_Corruption
• Description: I've entered this before but it was back when the Writing Arena was still relatively new. This is a sonnet I wrote for my 12th grade AP English Literature class. I thought it was pretty spiffy so I'm sharing it again.

My love for you is empty
Caged within a heart gone cold
Your smile once enlivened me
Now I just grow old

These games I endured
Of your seductive ploy
Such a child you are
I no longer wish to be your toy

My patience wears thin
Each time your word is said
Telling how you love me
How you wish me dead

You read this letter
Weeping upon your bed
Know you were only worth this paper
Not my voice instead
