Sonnet 92 -- Learning What the Word Means

Sonnet 92 -- Learning What the Word Means

The years we spent at playing Love are lost

One must not try to bend it to our need

Demands and expectations raise the cost

And happiness is lost in selfish greed

We do not see the person, just the dream

A fantasy to rescue us from fears

And fill the hours sometimes with a scream

Addicting us to cheap dramatic tears

How much sweeter it is to simply care

With nothing of ourselves set on the line

The veil of selfish needs no longer there

We let them go to seek their needed sign

And stop the insanity called “In Love”

And offer simple care to rise above.
