All alone

Again this year

So sad

So blue

Until it occurs to me

The perfect plan

The perfect way to make each and every one of them pay

To make them hurt just as bad if not worse then I am right now

Oh yes I can just see it now

Hearts broken and bleeding everywhere

All over the world

Such a dark cloud of sorrow hanging over all

That even Cupid lowers his head to weep

A thousand and one bitter tears

Flowing together

To create the wonderful river of a joyous poisonous smile upon my face

Once depressed

Now I'll dance and sing

Jiggling and gigging with a twisted kind of contented joy

Watching

Savoring

As one by one their hopes and dreams

All fall apart to a million billon and one pieces

Just like Humpty Dumpty never to be put back together again

Call me crazy

Call me a non-romantic reject

Just don't call me wrong

Just don't lie and try to tell me

In your own soulless shoes

You would't do the very same thing

Reaching out with the shattered shards of your lonely heart torn apart

To have just once

Just once in this too short and pitful lifetime

The perfect Valentine's Day

For a loving aching heart

Left too damn long

Alone and untouched by anyone or anything
