You’re funny
     I’m not
You look beautiful
    I don’t
You can even rock drag
     I can’t rock either gender
You’d never glance across the smoke at me and laugh
     because I’m not hilarious
I mean, you kind of had me at the lip-sync
     but I know you never looked in my eyes
Even when you took the five out of my hand and ran yours up my arm
     I still would never impress someone like you
But **** girl, you looked amazing in all of the mirrors

I’m so, so sorry for everything that has gone wrong in your life.
I’m so, so sorry that you feel alone.
I’m so, so sorry that there are days that you can’t cope with life because you are practically dead.
I’m so, so sorry for the person that completely ripped you to pieces.
I’m so, so sorry for all of it.
Last but not least I am so, so sorry that you think you aren’t worth it to someone.
Because you are.
You are always worth it to someone.
You’re worth it to me.
So please don’t cry, although I know you see me far clearer through the tears falling from your eyes.

So I got this card
in the mail you see
“To: Virginia”
Pretty as can be

I opened the card
with a half-assed smile
only to see
a number to dial

I picked up my phone
and with much despair
dialed my girlfriend
whose number was there

“I think it’s you
and definitely not me.
I’m fairly sure
we weren’t meant to be.”

As I hung up the phone
with a smile on my face
I thought of some blackmail
of her in lace

My puppy dreaming
by my side
You won’t be ready
for this ride

It was a bad idea
to break up with me
And now in time
you shall see

I’m kind of a *****
when it comes to you
I really don’t care
what the hell I do

As long as in the end
I see you cry
And I’ll tilt my hat
With a satisfactory sigh

I don’t hate today
as you see
I just toss some arsenic
in their tea

I’m glad you’re in love
I mean, it’s really plain to see
With your Facebook stati
and obnoxious deeds

Finally one girl
got it right
and bought me a puppy
for all my lonely nights

She knew that I
didn’t need a card or flowers
I just needed
a friend who sat next to my shower

Although this girl
can’t compare
her bright evening eyes
and wind-blown hair

She didn’t send me
that horrid card
she simply reminded me
that life is hard

She didn’t leave me
to fend for myself
she instead put my ego
on a slightly higher shelf

Although I loved that other
card-sending *****
I’m fairly certain
that you’re it

My Valentine’s Day wish
come alive in my room
across the hall
next to the food

So to everyone else
who is lonely on the day
I say to you
Don’t be swayed

I found my girl
in a different type wrapping
You can always find yours
But don’t ever be sappy

This girl is at class
taking tests, and passing life
I’m sitting in my room
as high as a kite

Not high on ****
or any other type drug
As cheesy as this is
I’m completely high on love

I asked you a question...
Something like,
“Will you marry me and cook for me every day?”
You replied.
“No. I will not cook for you every day.”
With a hell yeah and a smirk on my face
I’ll take that as well

And I go to bed


Alone.

I loved you
I gave you everything
I protected you
I opened up every part of me to you

You hate me
You took everything
You left me vulnerable
You made me close myself up again

Yet, I still can’t hate you

3 and 40 you described to me
What a strange number, attached to thee
A 20 here and a 18 there
Never for love, all for dare
Moving faster, slowing down
Wearing despair as my crown
You can’t help me so don’t even try
Your lips keep moving through your lie
You loved me then, you hate me now
We had a great run, take a bow
Move on in life as the others have
And leave me here, no longer sad
