Unforgivable Valentine

I wonder about the hard feelings
That give rise to devious
Ideas of revenge
 
The man so lost and hurt
He kills his wife and children
Things that take centuries to work out
 
I see all those families gathered together
In the courts of heaven and hell
Where a temple once stood
 
Now a vacantly staring lot
Next to a pizza parlor
You remember such places
 
When we too visited hell
Saw how much of heaven
Was still burning in their faces
