Valentines Day

by Carmen   Feb 12, 2005


On Valentines Day,
I sit here alone.
I wish I could say,
I wish I'd pick up that phone.

I saw you today,
Of course with her.
I guess I now pay,
If only I had the nerve.

You seem happy,
When you're together.
It may appear sappy,
I wish we were together.

My eyes water,
These tears flow,
I guess it doesn't matter,
But my heart now beats slow.

I love you,
can't you see?
You could love me too,
It'll be just you and me.

I hold this little Valentine,
A card that holds so much power.
The truth that could make you mine,
Of course she'd be sour.

It holds my feelings,
And also my heart.
It also had a sealing,
A little candy tart.

The candy reflects your being,
Sweet, innocent, pleasing, addicting...
That's all my heart is seeing,
Also what this little piece is freeing.

I thought I'd give it to you,
But then I thought again.
Is this something I should do?
Would I lose you?

I tuck away this card that holds my soul,
As I also tuck away my heart.
I look up and smile, trying not to be cold,
Especially on this Valentines Day.

    Excellent poem! I relate to this a lot. I understand the pain you feel, and the talent you possess is incredible. Very well done! Your diction, imagery and structure are all flawless. You do keep the reader's attention despite the length of your work. Very well done, once again!
