Forgotten Valentine

I wipe away a tear as I Walk home alone in the rain As the flutter of my heaving heart Loudly beat against the window pane I push back the growing numbness Oh but how I grieve, I grieve That no longer you have no love for me Something that stabs me deep, too deep I remember how I shaded it red The card for my Valentine true The cake was sweet and icy blue Like what you wanted. As you wish it - perfectly good and true I worked for days and nights to set This special dinner for us two I called on early to you to set This special day, this moment for you Love, you have written on the card before I will stay with you till my dying day And never would there be a force so great That could break us That could separate this heart that only beat with you That would sing only for you Where is that promise now, my love? Where is that warmth, that kiss? When today on Valentine you went amiss Leaving me on the dinner table alone Waiting in vain and still alone. Alone in my sadness Alone in my loving despair The candle light is long gone Burnt to the core - no more flickers erupt So too is your love for me The spirit has long gone Has flown away, but the pain The pain remains - I want to say - no longer would I miss Your ringing laughter Your strong wide arms Your fervent breath when we kiss I want to say - no longer would it matter now That you forget to bid me goodbye each day That you would wince when I hold your hand That no matter how I try You would not look at me again with such passion In your beautiful, beautiful eyes Now the last straw - That forgotten Valentine I am sure. My heart is sure. It will no longer look back again I will walk further, further in the rain Further on until I learn To forget the pain To drown my heart in this fiercely pouring rain =================================== Contest - Emotional Response 2nd Place
