Dooms Day

It's that time of year
We're all in good cheer
Everything seems fine & dandy

Have mercy on my soul
Cupid's in control
At least I get half off all candy

Valentine's Day?!
What blasphemy is this?
Where men buy flowers
Just for a kiss

The words 'I love you'
Are slung all around
The true meaning of love
Pounded into the ground

Why does one day
Suddenly mean so much
People spend tons of money
Are we that out of touch?

Since when does love
Mean buy me a ring
Love isn't based on
Such temporary things

A commercialized holiday
Is just Thursday to me
I'll continue to smile
And carry on with glee

But when people approach
And say Happy V-Day
I'll simply nod my head
And say "Same to you babe"

Half off chocolate
Is all it means to me
That's all it ever was
That's all it'll ever be

Un-comparable

(Not sure about this one). #opussweeklychallenge. The flowers wilt. In sight of she. Can not compete. With such beauty. Can not come close. To such sweet grace. Can not compare. They fade away.
