Because no one understands
How difficult, how stressful
How wrong and how evil
To long for you, itch for you.

Because it takes a great toll
To develop these crazy nuances
To develop these blocks of walls
To ignore all my missed chances.

It doesn't mean I don't care
Doesn't mean I turn a blind eye
I still see you the exact same way
I still see you when you walk by.

You said you don't feel a thing
You said we were too vague
But vague was the only way
To stop this pandemic plague.

Yes, my attraction for you is a plague
For it drills holes in my head
And it scratches scars in my soul
It purposefully wants me dead.

There are times I think a lot of you
But there are times I try my best not to
And there are times I calm the hell down
But those are the moments I see you.

You have no idea what battles I've lost
Most of these wars are in my head
As this Valentine's I see everyone happy
But we can't see the magic we could create

***** eh? Life takes you by the side stitch
You're like the fulfilling scratch to my itch
and I'm like the Moose to your Mitch
And I will be your potion, my dear witch.

I have succumbed to your spell of roses
I have pretended I was not in trance
But I've failed on one most important thing
- our conversation, that night, our dance.

I just want you to know and remember
That nothing has changed in my heart
Though it is too hard to think of you
Not thinking of you is equally hard.

Maybe this poem came two days too late
But I do hope you've had it utterly sweet
Just sad that while we tend to our loves
We admittedly allowed ours to bleed.

- *You took the happy out of Happy Valentine's Day
