Sonnet #2:
by Valentin Macias
No!: The most disturbing and painful word;
My killer of dreams and ender of hope;
The fear of one man to have this word heard
From my sweet lady's lips; those lips that I hopes
For ;on the one that I love; has fallen prey
To this word's attack that proved to be true;
That one word is enough to ruin my day;
So small; but so strong, to rip hearts in two.
Could such agony span to forever?
Will I seek a true mender of hearts
To ease this pain, caused by whom I adore?
None other can mend it; broken in parts
By her two-letter word that conjured this pain;
Her little word that thwarted my efforts in vain.
