My Bloody Valentine

My Bloody Valentine


“Smile.”
That was
What he said.
Our first meeting,
And I could never
Forget every detail --
Held them deep inside my heart.
I fell in love that very day.
Colors and hearts wherever I look;
A feeling so great, like riding on clouds.

But in an instant, all of it shattered.
Betrayed, used, fooled by the one I loved!
How? Why? I never understood.
Yet nothing else matters now…
I've taken my revenge!
Yes, as you lay there;
Broken, lifeless,
Bloodied up
On the
Floor.
