Thanks for all of your comments! About the rhyme scheme.. well.. this was supposed to be a Petrarchan sonnet with the rhyme scheme ABBA-ABBA-CDCDCD though I have to confess that I accidentally interchanged two lines. Here's the corrected version. Thanks again for all of your advices!
Sunsets and Sorrows
Towards the setting sun I turn my gaze,
While melancholy welled up inside of me.
As the scenery draws out my heart’s plea,
My vision blurs with haze.
Tears illuminated by the sun’s rays,
Reflect the depths of my misery.
Making me realize how I’ve always been apart and lonely,
Living through life in a daze,
But then, twilight brings relief to me.
For as the sun sets and night descends,
Promising reprieve from a day of hypocrisy,
I felt the peace which I once only found in friends.
My heart feels lighter as I set my sorrows free,
And that in time everything mends.
