Valentines Lessons

[Nephythys]

Valentine's Day is a waste of my time
As history has repeatedly shown
Lovers who always turned into losers
Every year a disappointment
Not a single effort appreciated
Too selfish was my audience
Ignorant and careless of the hurt
Now I have learned my lessons
Eventually I got it in my head
Swine do not deserve my pearls

Dedicating myself to those that I love
Applying my affections to my family
Yearning for nothing from those empty days
