Broken Valentine
By Janus
19 Valentine’s days gone by,
With nothing to show for it,
Old cards from friends,
But not a one from that special someone.
So I lay down and cover my heart,
Let it harden more every day,
For it seems that Valentine’s day is against me,
Every day and every year.
Valentine’s day is a good day for most,
But I am a ghost to everyone that day,
I give out Valentine cards to friends,
To show I care to have them close.
Can Valentine’s day just not be meant for me?
Most people stay in love’s arms,
While I stay in the back corner,
Unnoticed by anyone or anything.
Valentine,
If you are there,
Please let me know,
So I might dare to step outside my box.
If I have no one to love,
Then how can I care for something,
And if I can not care for something,
Then what joy will I have in living?
Valentine’s day, love, joy,
These three things are always connected,
They will always be so,
And so I shall wait for that special someone.
