Paper Hearts
Paper hearts don't beat
They tear
Of Valentine's?
He was not aware
All she wanted
Was a rose of red
But spending money
Brought him dread
She rolls her eyes
And looks above
As he tells of how
She has his love
These words sound
Empty
Said without cost
That was the day
Her love
He lost
Then came the 14th day
Of Feb
A new lover she found
Upon
The web!
