Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 By Myself

I've always loved myself a lot,

And so expect all to love me.

But not too much love have I got

From others who just seem to be

Expecting my love in return.

For me, love is a give and take.

The others giving love should yearn,

And not have all of that heartache

When I do not reciprocate,

Taking their love should be enough.

They don't seem to appreciate

My feelings on this shared love stuff.

By myself, I stopped the search of

Somebody more than me to love.
