Sarah had a plan

A plan of getting away

But she lacked the currency she needed to pay

She knew of a place where she wanted to go

A magical place all covered in snow

As she looked at the poster "the Arctic" it read

A voice from behind came and it said

“that would surely cost an arm and a leg”

At this, she was quite puzzled as she did not understand

But she could not let this get in the way of her plan

Sarah was quite different from you and from I

she could not tell the difference from the truth and a lie

sarcasm, jokes, and others alike

sayings and phrases like "go take a hike"

See Sarah was an outcast, it was hard to fit in

as much as she tried she could never win

she took a liking to puffins, those cute Arctic birds

for they could not speak and confuse her with words

Taking things literally never was much of a problem

Until the day she saw the poster that Autumn

To her apartment, she speeded

She knew what she needed

"I will live in the arctic" is what she repeated

"and forget all those times I was badly mistreated"

So now there she stood as lonely as can be

when all she ever wanted was just to be free

but her freedom was quite costly, an arm and a leg

Sarah needed hers so she took her roommates instead

Just a quick snip, a pull, and a tear

Getting carried away and even shaving her hair

“This will do it, they will see”

“Just a few more clips and there I’m free”

With cherry cheeks,

My heart now leaks

The color I see is red.

Thanks to the winner,

Who took you to dinner

And now you are to wed.

Shadowed by grief,

Freedom was brief

as the bullet entered his head.

The plan, short but sweet.

Now we are complete,

While he rots under our bed.

Will you be mine?

Even for a second in time.

If I am rejected,

My heart will sure be affected

My life's on the line

So, will you be my valentine?

This rose I send to you my sweet

I loath the fact we can not meet.

We will unite soon enough

My current state is just quite tough

Aside of being so far-flung

I can't escape this iron lung.

Today you turn a brand new age.

Forget the past and flip the page.

A day that comes one time each year.

Closing in to what we fear.

At least this time it's not the wake.

Now cheer up dear, and pass the cake.

I sit here inside a hollow box

All alone with my thoughts

White is all I see

Nothing else except for me

No windows, No doors

Just four walls and a floor

The top might be open, I can't really tell

I tried going up there but somehow I fell

When climbing up is really down

You can't help but make a frown

But the bright side I guess would be

Soon they'll be sending someone in with me.

This heart I give to you my love,

for you're a gift send from above.

Be careful and protect it dear,

It took a while to get it here.

For this is not my heart you see,

Without it I can't quite be me.

I took it from a guy name Dave

I dug it out right from his grave

surly Dave won't mind, he'll see

that you and I were meant to be

On this day of hearts and sweets

Walking down these lonely streets

A perfect date is what's a head

But then we walk up to a shed.

We’re now inside, all is locked

Bullets loaded, pistol cocked

You looked quite puzzled, “why are we here?”

In your eyes lies true fear

“What is this?, what are you doing?”

“Ask that man that you were wooing!”

But she can’t because he's dead

He’s 6 feet under, severed head.

She screams and cries

“I didn’t mean it!”

All those lies

I should have seen it

“Forgive me love, I'll make things right!”

Hands are shaking, her face is white

I can not let this go this way

I’ve been so hurt, she needs to pay

All these years the love I felt

Remembering the day I knelt

Blood is pumping, anger roaring

“Please calm down”, she's imploring

can’t think straight, blacking out

I just need her not to shout.

A piercing sound, my ears are ringing

Through the noise I hear faint singing.

In my arms, golden hair

Blissful feeling, lovely stare.

Silky sheets against our skin

God, forgive her foolish sin.

The ringing’s back, I'm in the shed

She's standing there, look of dread

Bullet wound right through her head

Warm blood trickles down my face

I have to hurry and clean up the place.
