SONNET NO. 3

i feel the pain when you're away from me
like thousand needles piercing my poor heart
but when you're near i suffer silently
and begin to wish that we're far apart

when you're gone i know you're with someone else
someone else's hand is holding you tight
and premonitions come like warning bells
loud with sorrow echoing through the night

when your hand is entwined with mine my love
i don't sense the heat of a burning flame
there's nothing there so i look up above
to ask of Him my empty life to claim

away or near my life still feels like hell
i break the silence with a pain-filled yell
