Land of Perpetual Darkness
March 20, 2015
Sucking into the bottomless hole
While I try to claw my way up to land
The dirt weighs me down like a ton of coal
Where is my saviour, my helping hand ?
Where has she gone, my illumination ?
The burning oil lamp of my darkened world
My looming eternal damination
Down into the bottomless pit I'm hurled
Into the inevitable darkness
Suddenly the universe is pitch black
All life has ceased except my lonliness
Never to return, never to come back
Like a bright star, she appeared in the sky
Like a perfect angel, up did she fly

Currently in English, we're doing the Shakespearian play Much Ado About Nothing. There's one part of the play, essentially one of the main parts, in which it Claudio and Hero's wedding. During the wedding proccession Claudio wrongly accuses Hero of cheating on him and storms off in rage, causing Hero to faint. Hero's family tells everyone, including Claudio, that Hero died as a result of his accusation. I write this sonnet from the point of view of Claudio, who thinks that his beloved Hero has died.
