Here we are in chemistry class. There's no chemistry in this room, though.....it's an all-girls school and no one's brave enough to be lesbian.

I try to tell you how you make me think
But the words come too fast and I can't speak
My breathing stops and my heart's twisted beat
Breaks with the time of the my brain pulsating
Now my love leaks through my mouth to your skin
The words won't reach you but my hands seem to
They wish to touch you, like I'm touched, within
But I can't make love just like you do.
So as I trace the lips I long to kiss
And stare at myself in your forlorn eyes
I question how we ever got to this
The thrumming of my heart renews surprise --
With the sound of your voice filling my dreams
I know there is no need for other things.

well, i had to write a sonnet for english class
a sonnet is a poem in iambic pentameter with a fixed rhyme scheme [Shakespearian: ABABCDCDEFEFGG]
it took me bleeding forever to write, and it's not perfect.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
