9. Grim Reaper

The day of love and romance,

Red roses and heart flurttering gifts,

Adoring smiles and passionate nights,

No one knew,

One of them was a cheater.

Zealous glances and intimant embraces,

Innocent flirting and glowing faces,

Serene souls and harmonic heartbeats,

No one knew,

She was secretly a stripper.

He approached the pretty girl,

A lonely rose rested in his trembling hand,

He asked her the feared question courageously,

Yet she rejected him,

After all,

He was a geek and she was a cheerleader.

Different people,

Same story,

They seek love and compassion,

Their soulmate,

They can't comprehend,

They're too eager.

It's only a day,

To show our dearest ones the love we have for them,

The other 364 days,

We return to hating one another.

Why torture myself with this fictitious concept of love?

Why wait for prince charming when he is imaginary?

Why adore our beloved in one day?

If only our minds were clearer.

This mythical world,

With cupid and his arrows,

Should disappear into oblivion,

It does not teach us love,

It only statisfies our fantasies,

This illusion, pulls us deeper.

The soul is a sacred place,

Emotions are venomous,

Smiles are killers,

The heart is a bleeder.

It's a day where tears are shed,

Hearts get broken,

The romance gets demolished,

Lies are spoken boldly,

Valentine's the Grim Reaper.
