A Loveless Love, Or Schrodinger's Love

Deserving all deserts and worth all worths, My love is admiration’s mirrored whole, A shadowed shade whose forms do form rebirths, I’m boldly uncontrolled in her control. A burning nymph who’s in all fairness fair, My love’s accounted without frankness frank, To stress distress she counts my bareness bare And burns my ardor with a rankness rank. To hold and not be held is wealthless wealth, To see and not be seen is sightless sight, To cure and not be cured is healthless health, To love and not be loved is lightless light. A crisp and charming cat sans coyness coy, My love’s a lifeless life and joyless joy.
