Valentine's Day Love Massacre

A heart pounding
A hand with sweaty palms
Her affection he craves

Underneath it all there is a sadness felt
Commercialization has ruined it all

She can't love him
She never could

He fades away into the recesses of sorrow
His mind is fractured, broken
What was once calm has become chaos

What else is there to do?
He did what was commanded

Candy, Roses, cards galore
The minions of St. Valentine the Greedy demand reverence

He did what was desired
He openly spent
Yet, into the arms of another she happily went

Valentine's day is a shaft, a sham, a mockery, a shammockery
Initially pure, evil has found its way
