I said you'd never find a lover,
Love ya better than I did
But you did
Divided by sea,
I see you parting seas,
Grasses greener so why you here?
The sleep, I should be asleep somehow I'm weak, I can not sleep
I might not wake
I can not eat
This parasite is eating me
It's feeding me what's in my brain
I think about it,
I lost the last of me that's sane

For some reason I thought this poem wasn't good enough to post here though the more I thought about it I noticed that there's more to it then how I felt when I wrote it. Though I must say I felt this way all day.
I really felt this one. Having been in a similar situation, (Divided by sea) and having felt that insanity, your poem truly hit home.
Your format is unique, emphasizing bits and pieces of note. Other than it's a love poem, why call it a Sonnet?
Hope you worked things out. - Phil A.
Thank you dear friend, those are kind uplifting words. I wrote the poem in the structure of a sonnet first stanza being a sestet the second being a quadrant and the last two stanzas couplets. I tried putting it straight here but everytime I preview it looked different so I left it as is. I'm both glad and sad that you relate to this... Nah I wouldn't say things got worked out but I think pain is an instrument.
