A Valentine's Thought...
 

We spend our entire life,
wanting to be chained to a husband or wife,
but it winds up in divorce,
and a ton of pain and strife,
and when you fight you scream about how bad each one of you is,
forgetting that awake and listening and probably crying are your kids,

and the questions you ask are,
is it worth the headache, worth the pain,
is it worth all of the emotional drain,
just to say you're in love with someone,
and to say that he or she is the one,

Sign one is that they're angry for some strange reason,
and you say "when are they NOT angry, pick a freaking season!",
Sign two is when they cry and don't want consolement,
The next step is usually going through an annulment,
Sign three, hey, you made it this far,
until they put sugar in the tank of your car,

and you spend the time you have together frustrated and pissed,
and basically you have no sex and instead you do this, :banghead:

Step back,
just relax,
sit back and vibe,
compress, regress, and try not to cry,
slash your wrists to feel pain, but try not to die,
or just scream upward at the heavens forever wondering why, :cussing:

Valentine's Day is coming up, and I'm spending it alone,
with a bottle of liquor and the walls of what used to be our home,
wondering why they left a dear john letter not sent,
and why I only see my kids on the weekends,

So this message I give you as it's too late for me,
keep it fresh and new and watch love blossom, you'll see,
keep it peaceful and don't argue, that is the key,
the torch from my flailing hands I throw to thee,
Valentine's day 2k4, but not for me.

I thought your idea's were well thought up but you should try writting in a different format. I'm sure if you try chosin' a different topic it could bring out some tight material. Keep writin'
