My True Romantic

I thought I saw a Romantic in you.

You lived life like you smoked your cigarette,

leisurely, but later full of regret.

I wanted to face the world, just us two,

but you hid from me and blamed your issues.

Some how I had become your biggest threat,

I could be your downfall, like Juliet.

You were a true Romantic through and through

I never read the poems of William Blake,

or observed "The Oxbow" by Thomas Cole.

Instead I decided to go on my own.

Thank you for giving me my first heartbreak.

Good luck in your treasure hunt for a soul.

Now we leave what could be to the unknown.

This is the first time I've ever tried to write a sonnet, so any feedback would be great!
