I have never written a sonnet before, so this one was a little rough. But it did make me appreciate Shakespeare's ability to write sonnets. But anyway, here it is...

Sonnet 1
Farewell, this word is never easily found,
But as the sun will hide beneath sky’s sight,
Or as fall fades and winter reclaims its ground
I too must painfully let you go tonight.
O, how I long to stay here in your eyes
Where life is clear and full of color,
Where you outshine the stars in midnight sky,
For they are pale compared to you, my lover.
But when I let you go, the black and white
Of life returns and night loses its star.
My world grows cold and though you’re still in sight
I find myself wishing you weren’t so far.
But as spring brings life to earth’s frozen tears
So too my heart will be when again you’re near.
