Valentine Suicide

The day of love, and candy hearts.
It was over before it could start.

Dripping red from my chest.
Why was I so depressed.

Life was once a happy game.
Now love has made me insane.

Torture me, so I can feel.
I'm so numb, I'm not sure if its real.

Blurry faces, fading memories.
It'd be to painful for me to see.

I noticed everytime she started to flirt.
When I breathed it would start to hurt.

My chest was pounding, dripping red.
I realized I loved, then I was dead.
