Love Unjust
Oh, how thou dost confuse the common man
Your unpredictability frustrates
To give so generously once, and then
Without warning, willingly dost thou take
In you I diligently strove for naught
Thy cruelty, eager to disappoint
To slaughter hope and leave the heart distraught
'Pon brow, a condemning kiss you anoint
And yet, your callous ways be not futile
Forsooth I see you dictate all beneath
If thou striketh me, will not I struggle,
The best for one, to me, thou dost bequeath
Mayhap, 'tis a choice I have before me
To live with love unjust, or die simply

I enjoy the sounds of these words...It makes me think of romantic love, passion...And, somehow (I'm not sure I entirely understand what is going on) it seems like the male person (in this sonnet) is lacking, is mean, is shallow...
