Valentine of Pain
A couple of white and red roses,
Dying together under the acidic rain.
A 2-years-ago dark summer morning
Brought me all this throbbing pain.
A terrible disease with no cure
Is making my chest its putrid nest.
Hatching its sprouts of unfeigned lies,
Sabotaging the heart and fusing my crest.
Illusions of places I've never seen.
A déjà vu of morbid feelings makes my
Eyes automatically want to shut..
From pain.
And I have questioned the thin air;
The emptiness that wraps me.
Why had you refused me?
A sudden truth I can't perceive.
I tried to be what've wanted me,
Why couldn't we just get along?
You've never explained why.
You absconded alone and
Left me with this hate
And, then, to ruefully cry.
You're now gone and all you left are
Short happy memories and long sad ones
Playing before me in black and white;
You were like a star too bright that it
Burns itself and waned in the dim night.
Our relationship had a bright future
But it, so suddenly, has ended...
Because you've died.
