Captain Hook - War O' Valentines Day

A swirl of Red and White
A day of purity and heart
A swirl of X's and O's
A new day for goodbyes and hellos

Enjoy that hearts golden arch
While you still have time
A month away from the marchers of March
Those pesky criminals of crime

A swirl of Roses and chocolates
A day of love and hate
A swirl of smiles and frowns
A new day for falling in and falling down

Hands grasping, Hearts breaking
Sacrifice in crowded halls, rose petaled floors
A lesson of giving and taking
This riot of redemption and remorse

A swirl of gifts of all sizes
A day of heart felt suprises
A swirl of sweat, blood, and tears
A new day comes and goes all of these years

The wounded lay face down hollow
Stabbed by a stinging single word
All they wanted was a yes, Broken with a NO!
Echoes chanting War O' Valentines Day, all thats heard

Captain Hook
