A Poem (hope you like math)

Here's one of my submissions for the Engineers in Poetry contest this year.

The Rejected Engineer's Lament

My love for you, darling, is such a large vector
You could measure the field with a voltage detector
I'm hoping induction will get you to stay
Since our paths were orthogonal when you turned away

You've got a new boyfriend, he forced us apart
When he pulls you close it puts torque on my heart
And you seem so pleased with this coupled conjunction
It's making me feel like a limited function

But though we are distant, my love won't decline
No matter the radius, the same love per time
Will wash over you in Keplerian waves
What's that? You say this is what drove you away?

You can't stand my metaphors, stilted and creepy?
My trying to quantify loving you deeply?
I put you before Fourier, but you were perturbed
When I said you were more than the sum of your curves?

I'm taken aback, I would never have guessed
Trying to approximate worsened the mess
Knowing Schroedinger, I should've stayed pat
But I opened the box, killed our love like his cat

Good riddance! I think there's no need for correction
If you can't appreciate my great affection
And how I display it, we should be apart
And you should be dating a guy from Com Arts
