A Perfect Sonnet

Lately I've been wishing I had one desire
 Something that would make me never want another
 Something that would make it so that nothing matters
 All would be clear then
 But I guess I'll have to settle for a for a few brief moments
 And watch it all dissolve into a single second
 And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet
 Or one foolish line
 Cause that's all that you'll get
 So you'll have to accept
 You are here and then you're gone
 But I believe that lovers should be tied together and
 Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather
 And left there to drown
 Left there to drown in their innocence
 But as for me I'm coming to the final chapter
 I read all of the pages and there's still no answer
 Only all that was before I know must soon come after
 That's the only way it can be
 So I stand in the sun
 And I breathe with my lungs
 Trying to spare me the weight of the truth
 Saying everything you've ever seen was just a mirror
 You've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever
 And laying in a bathtub full of freezing water
 Wishing you were a ghost
 But once you knew a girl and you named her "Lover"
 Danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer
 But autumn came, she disappeared, you can't remember
 Where she said she was going to
 But you know that she's gone
 Cause she left you a song
 That you don't want to sing
 Singing I believe that lovers should be chained together
 And thrown into a fire with their songs and letters
 And left there to burn
 Left there to burn in their arrogance
 But as for me I'm coming to my final failure
 I've killed myself with changes trying to make things better
 And ended up becoming something other
 Than what I had planned to be
 All right
 I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
 And laid entwined together on a bed of clovers
 Left there to sleep
 Left there to dream of their happiness
