Bloody valentine revenge

Why did you kill on a Valentine's day? 
She came to show you the depth of her love. 
Yet that same love you wickedly betray. 
You stabbed her in cold blood wearing a glove.

She brought a box of chocolate candy...
and a bouquet of beautiful flowers. 
She also brought a bottle of brandy. 
To celebrate with you for a few hours.

In a cruel twist, you stabbed her heart so deep, 
You watched as blood dripped with crimson flows, 
Your face flushed with anger more than skin-deep. 
On her face, you rained a barrage of blows.

You made her face swollen, her heart shattered, 
For no reason, you killed her in cold blood. 
To everywhere, her dead soul you scattered. 
In your conscience, her blood flows like a flood.

This you kept as a secret to all ears, 
But she haunted me with the truth in dreams, 
When I confronted you, you only shed tears. 
In your eyes, I saw her blood flow as streams.

In revenge, I've sent you to a graveyard... 
a promise I made to her in my heart. 
Another beautiful valentine marred. 
Wait at the gate, I'll also soon depart.
