VALENTINES TEARS

What is love to a broken heart

When the one you desire is gone 

Erase Valentine's Day from my calendar 

And just maybe my heart will live on

I look at a dozen roses 

And see a bouquet of thorns 

The taste of candy makes me gag 

Please don't remind me of the sweetness of love 

For to me, love is the picture of death 

Let me vent, my heart overflows

I am burdened bewildered and sad

If only sleep would of subdued my mind

Then this Valentine's Day 

Would of never made me mad.
