Forgotten Valentine

The world has passed her by Hiding in the shadows by day Another nameless face Never knowing quite what to say Never has she had a lover To hold her at night Saying the words That makes everything right Holidays come and go Can`t count all the years Sleeping alone in the dark Fighting back the tears Not once has she received A lover`s valentine Asking her the question Will you be mine

I see this must have won in a contest. It's a sad Valentine poem but I like it. Actually I prefer to say damn!! But I have to be kind of careful what I write on the more current comments!! I'm back here now on your page two. you never heard DANG before?? DANG, boy, where have you been?? (I'm not from Kentucky but my mom says we have ancestors from there and I always loved that state for being the home state of my fave man, Abraham LIncoln)
