Counting Love(Sonnet)

I've whispered I love you, a million times

And I've given you ten- thousand kisses

I've written my love in five- thousand rhymes

An offering, your heart just dismisses

I've wiped at least a hundred-thousand tears

Whenever your sadness needed my sleeve

I've been by your side for twenty-two years

'Til you decided you wanted to leave

A thousand regrets imprisoned my mind

At least a dozen for each day we shared

I want back the love my heart had enshrined

So you will know that I'm sorry I cared

You've asked me to give it just one more try

I'm tired of counting, I'm saying goodbye
