Unacceptable Valentine

Nothing seems to be working today
A door won't open the window's stuck
When I reached for my coffee cup
It shattered in my hand
Blood dripped on the carpet and floor
The phone is dead and the TV warns
Don't think of going outdoors
I'm buried under books and bombs
Falling in children's souls
So much more tightly I pull
My love around me its glow
Though it only goes so far
But just enough to let me stand
And yell my eternal NO
