Of love and loss!

Emmanuel Ntezeyombi

Sonnet
I used to play this game
Where warriors fought
Some would grow tame
This to me wisdom brought
There was shave damage
Where warrior's armour
Was damaged at each stage
Slowly decreasing forever
So has been my experience
Of love, slowly taking me down
Taking my strength and essence
Drawing me nearer to the frown
Yet it was the sweetest agony
To commit this error no felony
