You Are My

Heart throb
An oxymoron, really
Because it looks like
Sounds like
Love
Yet if it is,
Why does this valentine of mine
Push against these iron ribs,
A prisoner of itself?

The words flow nicely and yet I don't quite see the point of the poem- love is not always peaceful and nice. Love can be a prisoner, it can be tormenting. So it's not really an oxymoron. Good job though!
