Returning your Valentine's Day "coupons" today

Too bad I never got to redeem any

Remember Labor Day last year?

Remember all of the remembering?

Flowers on my bed, sunset at Red Rock

Wrapped in my arms

You were so happy

Wait...

You weren't even there

I was holding a dummy filled with your organs

The song lyrics:

"I got your love letters, corrected the grammar and sent them back. It's true, romance is dead. I shot it in the chest, then in the head...Which came first? The music or the misery?

--

"Love never looked so cool as when you wrap your car around a tree. Your makeup looks so great next to his teeth."

Sums up what I've done to forget you

...

What was I thinking?

Not possible

You were my first chance after my father died

Now, my body's scarred where it's supposed to mean the most

From taking that beckoning, lying chance

You say it's your fault

But, who caused that? Not you

February is still an open wound

Causing you to be owned by your fears

And, I'll be at the bottom of the hourglass, time ran out, buried

I have the courage you need

Buried treasure...nothing personal

Don't get me wrong

I still love you

God couldn't change that, even if he existed

Out of the filing cabinet, into the shredder

Even then, give me time, I'd still be able to find

Your 

Pieces

Don't get me wrong

I still love you

The stories we shared, created '

Will remain with me

Until I too put my head under the water 

And my life becomes spread out with the lake

Give me time, I'd still be able to

Find 

The 

Pieces
