Lost Valentine

i'd lay lilies at your feet
for fates were never to meet
leave black roses at your wake
nobody's but yours to take

our hearts as fragile as glass
our memories a mere past 
a vast body of water
but feelings never falter

the white carnations perish
our memories I cherish
my mind, a raging tyrant
yet you, a lovely siren

you, alluringly pretty
yet was potently prickly
I,a mere thorn in your flesh
yet our memories still fresh

i laid roses in your hand
so sickly sweet scarlet scent
you slapped Love in her fawn face
and you left without a trace

an embodiment of grace
me loving you was a maze
a serpentine thoroughfare
but yet one-sided affair

we walk too separate paths
with both nothing short of rough
they will never intertwine
truly a lost Valentine
