Sonnet Reflection

There's this boy and he's got me going insane
He gives me that on special feeling

A feeling I'm unable to explain

I declared my heart: his for the stealing

He told me I was his one special girl

And that no one could ever compare

I was elated, for he made my heart whirl

I needed this boy like I needed my air

The only guy able to give me that feeling

The one no amount of words could ever describe

He could make my heart jump to the ceiling

I was lovesick, and no medicine could be prescribed

I thought he was my only special guy

Turns out he was just a cheat and a lie


In a nutshell, my sonnet is about an ex boyfriend that let me believe that he was the one and that we made for each other. He had me going crazy:
“There's this boy and he's got me going insane”
“I was elated, for he made my heart whirl”
“He could make my heart jump to the ceiling

I was lovesick, and no medicine could be prescribed”
I wrote this sonnet though to make it known that guys will do this sort of thing all the time, and sometimes you may be deceived, but you also need to keep an eye out. Don’t be fooled by the sweet talk, because they will tell you what you want to hear.
“He told me I was his only special girl and that no one could ever compare”
That’s only the beginning of what he told me. And with that, he made me think that I was special, and me being a typical girl fell for it and got attached:
“I needed this boy like I needed my air”
My sonnet goes from present to past because that’s how quickly things seemed to change over time. I decided to do that because one minute I was so happy and infatuated but the next minute, it all seemed to be in the past. I start by saying how lovesick I was for this boy, but just two lines later I come to my realization about the lies and cheating:
“I was lovesick, and no medicine could be prescribed

I thought he was my only special guy

Turns out he was just a cheat and a lie”

This was by far one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had to live through, but in a way I’m really greatful for it now because now I know not to let my heart take over my mind. My mind needs to make the calls sometimes. I wanted to write this because it shows how infatuated I was with him and it shows how attached I got, but my twist at the end showed his true colors. Also because I wanted to show the guys that they shouldn’t do things like this because it does have consequences; And show the girls that things aren't always as good as they seem to be, so you need to watch out for yourself. That is where I went wrong, I wasn’t looking out for myself and I was just thinking about what I wanted not what I needed. I wish I had seen it, but then again, I’m glad because this sonnet helped me put my life into perspective It made me realize that I fell so hard for him but the feelings weren’t mutual. This boy had different intentions, and falling in love was not what he had hoped for. I’m not exactly sure of what he wanted, but when he didn’t get it, he turned to cheating.
When someone cheats on you, you get down on yourself and feel as if it was your fault. But what you need to know is that it’s not your fault, it’s nothing against you, you just chose the wrong person to fall for.

Sonnet of the Cheater

There's this boy and he's got me going insane
he gives me that on special feeling
a feeling I'm unable to explain
I declared my heart:his for the stealing
he told me I was his one special girl
and that no one could ever compare
I was elated, for he made my heart whirl
I needed this boy like I needed my air
The only guy able to give me that feeling
the one no amount of words could ever describe
he could make my heart jump to the ceiling
I was love-sick, and no medicine could be perscribed
I thought he was my only special guy
turns out he was just a cheat and a lie
