A tear drops
Color splatters
๐
A single red rose
Babyโs breath
Extinguished
๐
Sun swept hair
Sparkling sapphire eyes
Now, smoldering grey
๐
Silk dress, pure
Now, crimson stained
๐
A lone Valentine

My apologies as this is not a happy or loving poem for Valentineโs Day. But when I wrote it I always wondered what those who didnโt have Valentines or loves in their lives felt like on this celebratory day of love would feel like.
HI from New Zealand. I feel frustrated as I never have much luck with love. One day maybe. Take care and Happy Valentines day.

Happy Valentineโs Day to you too. At 52 years old, Iโve finally thrown in the towel at โfalling in love.โ I do know it exists though – Iโve seen it with my parents, grandparents and friends. I hope that some day you will find your love.

I am also 52 and feel the same way. Love always seems to go horribly wrong for me even though I have the best of intentions. I would need some serious help (and miracles) from God to believe in love I think ?
