[poetry] Valentine Suicide
By Lingering Feeling, 14 February 2012.
The victim, known as Hopeless Romantic, has finally given up on Cupid.
He has long pursued the elusive symbol for months until one day, he finds no meaning in the act.
“It has been senseless. I have lost hope. It’s better to end it all here.”
The victim has jumped from ecstasy to depression.
“I thought I needed you…until I realized how little I meant to you. You were a beautiful dream…yet I had to wake up.”
“He was full of life. And he dreamt of rainbows. He once wrote a song about love. Tragic, beautiful, painful, peaceful, serene…” said one of his friends.
“In the end, love has become a battle. He wanted to win. He wanted to live.”
His remains lie in the heart of the universe, watched over by stars that hummed a lullaby.
