Unrequited





Anti-Valentines-Day-Metal-Playlist

The flowers have long since wilted

Chocolate kisses have melted

You never came

I tire of plucking petals

Being a starry-eyed maid-in-waiting…

For you to come

Bleeding love?

My heart has turned tortoise shell

You took too long

The relationship sailed on

Leaving me to drown with insecurities
