Hearts that bleed the color of roses

A short valentine's day poem

Roses are red

Like the bleeding hearts of the dead

The hearts that hurt too much because of the pain

The hearts that can't get noticed by another and it's drving them insane

Violets are blue

Like the love that has come anew

Like the sky that is always there during the day

The color that reminds me that not everything has to seen as grey

Author's Note

Happy Valentine's Day!

I enjoyed your creative use of similes, and the balance you create between the 2 stanzas. Well done, thank you for sharing your work here :)

Ah, a great twist to valentines day! It's funny how we picture Cupid as this baby but in the real myths he was an adult with blood red eyes and was actually the god of lust! His Greek form, Eros, literally means Erotic! That's how we got that word! So in valentines day, think of blood red eyes and lust. Oh, and By the way, in the myths he was very In common with the god of death, Thanatos. And actually Thantos was kinder....

I liked it. It was really really good. I like the change in tone from one side to the other.
