Hateful Valentine

Verse 1
Your roses rot in plastic wrap,
A counterfeit sealed with a blood-red trap.
You said forever with that sugar smile,
But forever dies in a crooked aisle.

Your “I love you” came gift-wrapped in guilt,
With words like razors, sugar-spilled.
Now every box of chocolates tastes like blame
A hollow echo with a pretty name.

Chorus
Hateful Valentine, you’re dressed in red,
But all I see is what we left unsaid.
Your kiss was poison, your touch a crime,
A love note scribbled in venom and rhyme.

Verse 2
Cupid’s just a hitman in disguise,
A heart-shaped bullet behind kind eyes.
The photos lie, the smiles are fake,
A scrapbook stitched from each heartbreak.

You called it love, I called it war,
Now I’m bleeding out on the bedroom floor.
This day once danced in ribbons and lace—
Now it’s smoke, wine, and your ghost in my face.

Chorus
Hateful Valentine, you’re dressed in red,
But all I see is what we left unsaid.
Your kiss was poison, your touch a crime,
A love note scribbled in venom and rhyme.

Bridge
So here’s to the candles we never lit,
To the cards you forged and the lies they fit.
To the hearts we carved and then let rot
You said forever, but forgot the plot.

Verse 3
No red, no pink, no shades of grace—
Just shattered glass in a velvet case.
You gave me a dream then set it alight
Cupid’s casualty on Valentine’s night.

Chorus
Hateful Valentine, you’re dressed in red,
But all I see is what we left unsaid.
Your kiss was poison, your touch a crime,
A love note scribbled in venom and rhyme.

Outro
So raise a glass to the love that died,
To the parts of me I had to hide.
Hateful Valentine, this truth is mine:
I burned your name in every line.
