Fourteenth Blues



Fourteenth Blues

There’re the bereft and lonely
For they’re without anyone only
The inefficient tin pot god of February’s day
Cupid’s arrows are blunt so they tease and play

See the bruises they leave as remembrances
The chocolates and roses look so sad in their poses
The pretty faces so often rejected
Sit forlorn, confused and dejected

Saint Valentine cries in the dead of night
He sacrificed his life for love’s light
Looking upon the sobbing hearts
Oh to assuage their ache that throughout heaven reverberates

Happy endings are faeries tales
For time’s an enemy that showers loss
Yet the distressed heart will forget all that pain
Come the time that love embraces in truth, without refrain
