On This Valentine

I don’t know if it's considered a bad sign
To be another more year alone on valentine
Without your sweet heart, without your lover
You sit alone on this day remember and suffer 

Remember her gentle touch and warm embrace 
Remember her loving eyes and beautiful face
Remember the sound of her laughter and her pretty smile 
Though now it’s all over, you still think of her all the while 
(I wish she was still mine 
And with me on this valentine) 

Remember that you didn’t even get to say goodbye 
Remember how badly then you wanted to die 
Remember how like a river flowed the tears
But you can’t remember when…..
You stopped counting the years
Now you are asked and sobbing: fine 
But one more year alone on valentine

Sad and beautiful, you must read Arthur Vasos "The town of Nowhere" this seems where all sad poets go.

The weight of your words unbalances the scales of average as loneliness sinks to new depths approaching despair. A romantic soul is by nature doomed to feel every spark of love surrounding it, hoping of ignite a flame. Emile. #7
