Valentine's Day Massacre

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

You brought me roses,
but the thorns
made me bleed.

 

You slaughtered my heart
with Cupid's arrow;
your poisoned kiss
led to my destruction.

 

For a year, I stared
at the ruins left of me.

 

I thought I would
never know love,
because I couldn't
have your heart.

 

So mine shriveled up
and turned to stone.

 

But a saint came
and reversed the curse.

 

He restored my hope
and showed me
what love looked like.
