Her sonnet

Now beautiful was she
With compelling eyes and seductive lips
Most captivating thing you'll ever see
Being mesmerised by those rhythmic hips
She's always with a smile
Always  emitting life to those around
hoping to someday walk down the aisle
Never to be an object with its back to the ground
But all she attracts are vipers
Who drain her soul
And leave her with scars
Defeating her goal
Of being loved
Being alone is a problem that could never  be solved
