A sonnet for creative writing

The flames of the fire flicker

spewing light upon his face

as he awaits departure

from this crude and awful place

i can see it in his eyes

the contempt for everything

the hate of the darkening skies

and every feeling that memories bring

i feel it when i touch his hand

the cold of his pale skin

i remember writing names in the sand

that were washed away when the tide came in

and as he walks away from me

i know that our love will never be
