I Would Do Anything For Love

Introduction

The Prompt

I loved her to the point of invention

- Sarah Ruhl, The Clean House

I stumbled across this quote online recently, and it resonated and reverberated something wicked.

Mission: Slightly Inconvenient

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

Write me a piece inspired by the quote.

I Would Do Anything For Love

From the initial prompt, I wasn't sure how to approach it, but in the paragraph I found that it was part of, it made perfect sense. I could have written a story about doing something for someone, not for payment or recognition, but purely for their benefit, without expectation of recompense or recognition.

While I have done that many times in my life, I would not want to publicise any of them. I made people very happy, and they returned their appreciation in many forms, so even if I wrote a story, it might stray into things that I have done, and that might be a little too revealing for me, and more importantly, the other person involved.

While I chose the Meatloaf song as the main listen for this, as I wrote, the Hall and Oates song "Do It For Love" came into my mind, so I thought a sonnet would be an idea to share my thoughts:
