This is a sonnet I wrote in response to my growing feelings for a friend I knew I could not and would not pursue for specific reasons.

Foolish man, you’ve fallen prey to her charms.

Even though you thought that you were immune

Your walls of resistance have been disarmed

By her vibrant smile and her voices soft tune.

Now you’re stricken though you only see a friend

And you’re both trapped in your romantic dreams

Filled with boundless and endless passion

But you have ignored two important things:

One, though your feelings are strong, you she’ll deny

Because she’s given herself to another.

Two, though you know there’s more than meets the eye,

Her flaw would prevent you from going further.

You’re in too deep; come up and take a breath

Then step back and put your feelings to death.
