A happy Valentine

By LoneWolf

Did it make you happy, Valentine,
When the emperor sent you to die?
And yet they made you a saint
Imagine that
How twisted our past is
And we continue to twist it now
Your death is a celebration
Of love, and couples,
The ones that you married to each other
The ones that sent you to your doom?
And yet your day is a celebration
At the end of your life,
Did you have a happy Valentine?
