The Science of Us- Sonnet

 Ok, so Mortimer and I like sonnets.  Mortimer likes to use them for all of his gloomy stuff, but I like to remind people that they are useful, no matter what emotions you want to express.  This, like most of my poems, is for the girl that inspires me in nearly everything I do.  People who know her might get some of hidden messages in this.  If you're not one of those lucky people, I hope you can just enjoy the poem with its seemingly generic theme and message.  I used seemingly random mathematical variables in the first part of the sonnet, so really this could be interpreted for anyone.  Then, in the second part, where the theme changes, I made use of my favorite scientific tool.  Bunsen burners are cool, but I pick lasers over them.

Anyway, here's my sonnet.

Thanks for your time,

Jacob

The Science of Us

A plus B
Equals happiness in me
J plus J
Equals heartache and pain
mE divided by U
Has left me fresh and new
mE minus U?
What would I do?

A laser is just light
But it cuts through the night
Cuts things apart
Light has power
One ray is all that separates our hearts
And keeps me fighting every hour
