You are always clad in something red.
Your eyes are as playful as water.
However, you are serious instead,
And you're old enough that I could be your daughter.
Sometimes you make me want to laugh,
And others I want to die.
You have a way of arousing my wrath,
But, when you leave, you make me cry.
I, for once, don't know what to do:
I'm torn between logic and admiration.
My heart tells me that I can love you,
But my head blocks emotion with work as compensation.
I can't have you (because of my employment),
But does work mean that I can't savor enjoyment?

It's so difficult to rhyme sometimes, but sonnets rhyme! *sigh* I'm pretty sure than the count is off to make this a proper English sonnet, so that's why I titled it "Meryl's Sonnet." Meryl doesn't always go by the book, though she makes people think she does. It's a bit crazy. I know, I know – You're probably all sick of my poetry. It's just difficult for me to write a continuation of Trigun when I can't think of anything to continue with. (I'm lying, seeing as how I'm in the middle of writing the next "episode.")
