Idiot Sonnet

i set my standards so damn high
i cannot do a thing
without the disappointment
falling short of them can bring

my head above the clouds
i cannot feel your hollow earth
i cannot solve the puzzle
of the cycle of rebirth

i set my heart upon a lover
worthy of a king
forgot to be a king myself
and ruined everything

and yet the feeling does not die
and love keeps burning in my eye
