Valentine
Valentine
By Kevin Robey
October 26, 2013
With all the misery we defined
You’ll never be my valentine
Cynical to say that’s all it could be
But your heart set sail into the sea
Scrambled signals above our heads
Pulling old sweaters by the thread
Leave me here; alone and cold
Repeating every day till I’m old
With flawed technique, my outlook is weak
I'm sick of everything seeming so bleak
I shouldn't be alone with thoughts like these
Slowly killing me any time they please
The worst part now, it’s back to me again
With nowhere to turn where do I begin?
Resorting to lies that worked for me before
Still, nothing is making sense anymore
I promise I’m okay, the skies were blue today
My eyes won’t ever stray or fade away to grey
Like they did before it’s odd I missed the score
Turning black and red despite the smile I wore
If you ever asked, "would I choose again?"
I'd answer yes; you saved my life my friend
Love is worth the price, no matter the amount
In the end it's only memories that really count
