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.
