Half Priced Hearts

Half Price Hearts Half price candy in fancy boxes Shaped like hearts Sitting on store shelves Wondering why they weren’t given To someone’s sweetheart Do they feel alone? Were they abandoned? Like the many broken hearted lovers That this day celebrates Left alone wondering why How did they end up on the unwanted shelf? Alone and abandoned

They were canceled by the culture of the heartless

Thanks John. I don't know about cancel culture, I was thinking more about the people that put so much emphasis on Valentines Day to determine whether their partner loves them only to be let down because of forgetfulness, lack of funds to buy a gift, lack of time to buy said gift or because their partner doesn't view one day out of the year as a gauge to measure their feelings!
