Haha, yes, plenty ironic. :P

This poem is too rhyming. I realize that you're trying to achieve a sarcastic tone with the rhyme and wording, but it doesn't seem to work. I think it doesn't work because you seem to be bent on using obscure words, but these obscure words really don't add anything to the poem and just drag it down. Shakespeare has a sense of fluidity in his works and, with a couple of rereadings his poems are wonderfully light on the tongue. This, on the other hand, seems to roam the dungeons like an eternally chained ghost.

Reread this a couple of times. Don't focus on your rhyming as much--focus on making your meaning come alive. Then it'll get better. :)

Charms is in quotes because they aren't really all that charming

brusque - blunt in manner or speech often to the point of ungracious harshness

scathe - To criticize or denounce severely

knave - a tricky deceitful fellow
have you never read Shakespeare? He uses knave as an insult all the time.

Adrenaline rush makes hearts pound ReWrite this sentence to make more sense like
Adrenaline rush makes the heart pound.

Invincible to attempted schism What is Schism?

Stalwart to the very end This makes no sense.

Resist corrosion from her "charms" Why is charms in quotes?

Brusque remarks strive to scathe What is Brusque? What is scathe?
Hurled forth from mouth of female knave
What is a Knave?

You have more problems in this poem but I don't feel like writing it all but this is some.

Fix your grammar. Gothgirl01
