Sonnet

I don't usually post school assignments, but I'm making an exception today.


“Glances”

I see thy fleeting glance direct my way,
Across the room, the chasm, the divide.
The fear I am discovered holds great sway
My eyes are forced to turn away and hide.
But I am left aware that you have seen
Perhaps, a spark, affection in my eyes
Not meant to be uncovered, left unseen.
You saw and now you leave, you walk on by.
You left with me a glance, unspoken words.
I thought you let me see into your heart,
A chamber thought concealed by many doors,
And I broke through that we might only part.
It’s just a pair of glances, nothing said
Yet something in your eyes won’t leave my head.
