I'M Last Years Valentine

Eyes dead to the world
Emotions switched to off
A flame that once burned bright
Burned down and out

Love given does not equal received
Emotions  returned addressee unknown 
You are just someone in a crowd
Literally just one in a million 

Such a precious gift to be tossed aside
I’m Last year’s valentine
There must be a special on real love
As you seem to think it’s easy to find

Like a book on a shelf read once
Loved and then left to gather dust
You move on to the next thriller
Hope you get your happy ending
