V-Day Rant

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.....

Love is so short, forgetting so long
Another year passes, since you were gone...

"What's in a name?" the roses asked me
"Ah, the Name!" I exclaimed, in ecstasy

There is a point in singing a desperate song
When you get these surreal signs, but
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.....


Let the roses hear my crimson ballad
Its the only thing that is truly valid

As the thorns of their memory make me bleed
For the cleansing of the soul, Its blood that I need

They say its better to mature and move on, than dwell
On such nihilistic designs, still,
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.....


I have wallowed in this red cesspool of my own guilt
I was so, so young and naive, and I had built

Such high walls around myself, I know I wronged you
You were the rose, I was the thorn, but oh, how I loved you!

I thought I had come up in this insane world
With something that really rhymed, but
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.....


Now too long this revenge of yours has lasted
As all my notions have finally been blasted

Of how true love should ideally be
But these roses just won't let me be

This time I intend to let go, but with a bang, and this
Is the last of my drunken whines, for, you see
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.....

Love is so short, forgetting so long
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.....
