Love Should Only Be For Sleep

Written in Shakespearian (or English) Sonnet form

The only love I’ll ever trust to keep
Is not for men as people think it should,
Because no man is worth a night of sleep.
Replace my love? I do not think I could!

I’d rather have a pillow than rough hands;
My blanket serves more warmth than hairy arms,
And mattresses will never cancel plans,
So I will always give in to sleeps’ charms.

Plus every morning when I greet the day
I always want to stay in bed some more.
But with a man you might want him to stay
Or you might want to get him out the door.

And as I go to bed each night I dream
Of beds, not men, that are fit for a queen.

This is nicely written-nicely worded; however, when I read the rhyming lines together, it takes on a completely different flair. Maybe you can re-write the piece to reflect that...and see what feel you get. You just made something so interchangeable that it's truly fantastic!
