St. Valentines

by Kaylee   Jun 16, 2006


My hollow voice echoes in a chamber,
With closed doors stale words recirclate,
As little air resumes old blood flow,
Unable still to restart the failed,

My hands, though small, break,
A thread on which life does hang,
With ornaments missing from the tree,
And mistletoe crumbled in last years trash,

My calender crossed out February,
An unshaded box might remain,
Nothing pencil could not fix,
Sharpen the tip in which to send,
These dates into a lover's quarell,

An unsung voice writes our song,
In blackened ink upon pale paper,
Making me an unwanted watcher,
To tears which shed onto the ground,

Thud...
And my heart does beat?
With leaf crumbs between fingers,
Swallowed by an unfinished winter,
Misery I created on St. Valentines.

    Valentines Day is always a hard day for those of us who are relationshipless or who have a relationship we are trying to forget for one reason or another. It is not fun, and you captured the feeling well. It is not a good day in my book either. Keep tudging on love, it will get better.
