Sonnet 1

Thankful my soul for the tears you pick up
Take my burdens with talks of tomorrow
Shining's a sea overflowing with love
Wash me away, the tide takes my sorrows
 
Wherever you point a way is painted
Guess I'm the fool who can only follow
My heart is full though my mind has fainted
A lost sheep because my head is hollow
 
I am no puppet, no man pulls my strings
You numbed my brain but it can recover
This modern girl with confusing feelings
Is more than her heart more than a lover
 
My dearest, my muse, do not leave my days
Let my head stay empty, now and always

Author's Note
So this is my first real sonnet. I hope I have followed the rules correctly, but at the end of the day, poetry is more about expressing than it is about rules right? But if someone has a technical tip for this particular form of writing that would be appreciated.
