On a day such as today

Valentine I have none, I wish one would stay.

I've always been left, cheated.

Played slapped and beaten.

Used up dried out, treated as trash from the
Daily paper
Route.

On a day such as today
I see swooners swoon

In my own heart

I see amor gone dead
Dying

Doomed.

Happy valentines
I tell myself
Clinging onto the moon

Hoping the moon will find me

A love..

That won't leave me so soon.

Feliz Día de los Enamorados back in the homeland

Or a Feliz día de San Valentín here.

Hopefully mi amor

Will come around this time next year.

Though it's a valentines I fear.

Maybe because I've always surrendered to only knowing hurt.

The dirt I taste like tears.
