I wear my heart attached to this string.
I watch as it drags on the ground before me.
My eyes are swollen from the tears I've cried.
I am weak from the lack of sleep.
I tear and tear myself apart.
But still I'm left with no answer.
Just why did you leave?
Why won't you come back?
What is this one thing I lack?
I'm afraid to fall but I've already fallen.
I'm afraid to get hurt but this has me hurting.
What is there to do, to her I'm dead..
I sit on this rooftop, thinking my days away.
I sleep for hours upon hours just to get through the day.
But some days have me so beat that I can't get to sleep.
I'm lost in endless thoughts of you.
So please be mine, my valentine.

Powerfully emotional. I give it three bunnies!
