To My Valentine


Roses are red
Violets are blue
I want to burn your flowers
I want to bury you
Forget the words of love
stop floating in the air
Strip down naked
Lay down and stay there
I’ll cry you a river lover
As long as you be sure to drown in it
Hold me tight because I’m ready
To take all the knives out my back
And push them through your chest
I’m too violent you’ll say
Don’t worry I’m not here to stay
“Nothing is forever” don’t you remember?
