Hey all! I know this might seem a little weird...it's supposed to be a sonnet-ish thing (i thought i'd try something new for once). Let me know what you think.

Not So Saintly After All
Why does an obnoxious piece of paper supply
The date to pursue the L-word
For what about the ways we waste our days does this imply?
Magnifying details ever so absurd
Red roses? Chocolate hearts? Oh who cares?!
I’d rather see the flowers wilt and the chocolate melt
Then allow myself to be scarred by the mushy words others declare
Expressing their hearts, attempting only to end up below the belt

Are my eyes the only two who see
Our world being ruled by Hallmark
True love, locked away, wishing to be free
Sentenced to an imprisonment, alone and dark

Succumb to the force of the corporate scheme
But mourn the death of the naïve dream
