Unruined Valentine

Arriving noises but
no one's there
you can't start cleaning
first thing in the morning
it ruins the whole day
sit down or stand peering
out over the ocean a calendar
yes but think of all the damage
and despair you could succumb to
for the thousandth time
the pleasure of no pleasure
but you just can't rustle up
the tears for it anymore
can you who'll forgive you
if today's a beautiful day?
