Valentine's Slam

A centric couple

Echanging different coloured roses

Holding hands with vice like grip

Earth betwix their curling toes

Beneath a moonlight torn astray

With such so birthed exploding hearts

It even stirs the deaf neighbours

And labours love

Valentine poison arrow breech

Still hidden in the shadowy hall's

Of old school gym lockers

Now used as passwords

That scar to this day

Because

They are a cold reminder

Of what it was like growing up

Deemed to be never worthy 

Of 1 single solitary flower bought
Nor
Valentine's card written

Hopefully better late than never

Something's are wasted on the young

And are worth waiting for

And mean so much more

When the right time

And the right person comes along

Last 5 lines hit it home. Profound. If you want LOVE bad enough, you'll find it and nurture it, so that it wants to stay. Love usually comes after one finds love for themself. My personal experience. x

So true Leanne. If you don't love yourself its hard to imagine why anyone else would . Unless they want to try and fix or change you and pitty is not a foundation for love
