AND SO ON VALENTINES DAY

You know you changed my life forever
That day you appeared
You breezed in and grew roots
And dug into my heart
Your audacity and tenacity
Threw my soul into disarray
And changed my being completely
I still feel until this day

I hate what you have done to me
I want to be how I used to be
For I didn't know what I had missed
Before until that day
Your roots dug deep entwining
And made such a hole
Creating such a void
Empty in my soul

Your roots grew strong
You fed upon my love
You sapped my heart
Until it fell apart
Why did you steal?
And not return?
What you bled so dry
And empty hole, a crater wide
So deep-no tears left to cry

And so on Valentines Day
An anniversary
Of that bittersweet time
A fool, such an idiot
Who would have believed you mine
You played the game and you won
I guess to you-you thought it all was fun
I danced the dance as you played the tune
And merrily I skipped along
A lovers game, a sad refrain
And when you had your trophy
There you were gone
