A Valentine for World Poetry Day

“Blue Valentines” by Tom Waits

She sends me blue valentines all the way from Philadelphia To mark the anniversary of someone that I used to be And it feels like a warrant is out for my arrest Baby you got me checkin in my rearview mirror Thats why I'm always on the run it's why I changed my name And I didn't think you'd ever find me here

To send me blue valentines like half forgotten dreams Like a pebble in my shoe as I walk these streets And the ghost of your memory baby its the thistle in the kiss Its the burglar that can break a rose's neck Its the tatooed broken promise I gotta hide beneath my sleeve I'm gonna see you every time I turn my back

Oh you send me blue valentines though I try to remain at large They're insisting that our love must have a eulogy Why do I save all this madness here in the nightstand drawer There to haunt upon my shoulders Baby I know I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go With this blind and broken heart That sleeps beneath my lapel

Instead these blue valentines to remind me of my cardinal sin I can never wash the guilt or get these bloodstains off my hands And it takes a whole lot of whiskey to make these nightmares go away And I cut my bleedin heart out every night and I'm gonna die just a little more On each St. Valentine's day Don't you remember I promised I would write you

These blue valentines Blue valentines Blue valentines
