The Perfect Valentine's Day Poem by Ramona Thompson

For all the lonely hearted people out there

All alone
Again this year
So sad
So blue
Until it occurs to me
The perfect plan
The perfect way to make each and every one of them pay
To make them hurt just as bad if not worse then I am right now

Oh yes I can just see it now
Hearts broken and bleeding everywhere
All over the world
Such a dark cloud of sorrow hanging over all
That even Cupid lowers his head to weep
A thousand and one bitter tears
Flowing together
To create the wonderful river of a joyous poisonous smile upon my face

Once depressed
Now I'll dance and sing
Jiggling and gigging with a twisted kind of contented joy
Watching
Savoring
As one by one their hopes and dreams
All fall apart to a million billon and one pieces
Just like Humpty Dumpty never to be put back together again

Call me crazy
Call me a non-romantic reject
Just don't call me wrong
Just don't lie and try to tell me
In your own soulless shoes
You would't do the very same thing
Reaching out with the shattered shards of your lonely heart torn apart
To have just once

Just once in this too short and pitful lifetime
The perfect Valentine's Day
For a loving aching heart
Left too damn long
Alone and untouched by anyone or anything
