To Love Is Complicated

Over time my heart has become brittle verge of breaking, feelings immutable, once loving now your cold noncommittal knowing my actions were unsuitable, your absence has left my whole world bereft in my life no one more formidable, stealing my heart sure was an act of theft my love for you was unconditional, my affection shown was so tenuous now I must hope for just an interlude to prove my love, become less envious without you I'm lost, cold, lonely, subdued, our relationship a macabre sketch you're no demurely woman, I'm no letch. 28/10/2017.

Such a fantastic sonnet Roy, emotional and raw. You incorporated the required words so seemlessly and creatively in your poetic expression. Well done and enjoyed. Good luck!
