Love Actually...sucks


roses are red

violets are blue

this holiday's stupid

no matter with who

I don't want flowers

I don't want toys

I hate chocolate

just quiet the noise

keep your fancy jewelry

keep your bottle of wine

if you want the truth

you'd be wasting your time

I know you still love me

trust me I do

but I have to learn to love myself

and you should too

because flowers die

memories fade

February 15th comes

our problems still remain

you told me you'd do better

you promised and swore

it's been 4 months now

you're still complacent, even more than before

we've been friends for seven years

I gave you my all

you gave me that and more

but allowed yourself to fall

I left to find myself and give you some space

to work on yourself

and you've shown me so much grace

But you're still the same person

Nothing has changed

you're happy where you are

and that's perfectly fine

but it breaks my heart to say

I can't be your valentine

the roses have wilted

the violets are dead

and my heart is broken

but I mean what I've said
