Hardly Social.
Shall I compare thee to a tinder date?
Thou art more classy than those little hoes.
Shut them down and they'll have to masturbate,
But swipe ye left and I may never know.
Sometime too many selfies does one take,
Lack of literature adorn the shelves;
Instagram, Facebook, all socially fake,
Minds go numb; all too taken with ourselves.
But thy beauty and splendor is always,
In my minds eye, merely mention your name.
Too good for lips of guys who never stay.
How I go without you knowing the shame.
So long as you post, or you snap, or tweet,
So long live I to worship at your feet.
