Valentine's Day

You reached the bottom of your cereal bowl,
Gave the milk to the cat, your coffee's cold.
Can't take your eyes off the news feed scroll-
That keeps him off your mind.

"Took a trip to the coast with some friends"
But you're smart enough to know he's just taking the piss.
Isabella's excited for her new facelift-
His eyes are on the prize...

When you scorched the earth, it was all for show
'til he salted the ground so nothing would grow.
Put your heart on a totem pole-
He was only passing time.

But it's not like you to cry like this.
You've got his credit card- go make yourself rich.
Who cares if he's high now, or dead in a ditch
When your friends are bringing wine?

Just don't let him make you old.
If you choose to sleep on that bed of nails, you might wake up alone.
The reason that you lost yourself was never lost on me.
You pour yourself into dirty cups to stagnate;
They leave you empty.
