Valentine

On this day of hearts and sweets

Walking down these lonely streets

A perfect date is what's a head

But then we walk up to a shed.

We’re now inside, all is locked

Bullets loaded, pistol cocked

You looked quite puzzled, “why are we here?”

In your eyes lies true fear

“What is this?, what are you doing?”

“Ask that man that you were wooing!”

But she can’t because he's dead

He’s 6 feet under, severed head.

She screams and cries

“I didn’t mean it!”

All those lies

I should have seen it

“Forgive me love, I'll make things right!”

Hands are shaking, her face is white

I can not let this go this way

I’ve been so hurt, she needs to pay

All these years the love I felt

Remembering the day I knelt

Blood is pumping, anger roaring

“Please calm down”, she's imploring

can’t think straight, blacking out

I just need her not to shout.

A piercing sound, my ears are ringing

Through the noise I hear faint singing.

In my arms, golden hair

Blissful feeling, lovely stare.

Silky sheets against our skin

God, forgive her foolish sin.

The ringing’s back, I'm in the shed

She's standing there, look of dread

Bullet wound right through her head

Warm blood trickles down my face

I have to hurry and clean up the place.
