You Are Not a Valentine

As if you care
Serial killer of the spirit
Finder of fault
Happily dissatisfied
 
Microscopic examiner
Master of cruel detachment
Offering negative affection
Player of head games

Restless prowler
Spreading unhappiness
Stalker
User of verbal abuse

Wrecker of relationships
You have become transparent.
The game is ended.
You are not a Valentine.

Nor will he/she ever be with those traits. Well written, Warren. I have a couple of exes that fit this bill perfectly (lol).

Charles, thanks so much for your positive comment and for your visit. What we perceive as love in some cases is nothing but manipulation. Sorry that you had to deal with this. Best wishes~ Warren
