Empty Valentine

Valentine's day on the horizon;
Love in the sunset.
I haven't met him yet.
My reservation has been cancelled.
My red roses are dead.
And I feel empty inside.

Love is an elusive feeling;
I keep chasing without success.
It never lasts long enough for me.
Feb. is bitter sweet misery.
My chocolates have spoiled.
My stuffed animals are in the trash.

Nothing says I love you like murder;
Diamonds that sparkle and shine blind you.
My heart's been ripped out one too many times.
My balloons have deflated.
My glass slipper has shattered.
And I feel empty inside.
