A tear drops

Color splatters

💔

A single red rose

Baby’s breath

Extinguished

💔

Sun swept hair

Sparkling sapphire eyes

Now, smoldering grey

💔

Silk dress, pure

Now, crimson stained

💔

A lone Valentine

💔💔💔

My apologies as this is not a happy or loving poem for Valentine’s Day. But when I wrote it I always wondered what those who didn’t have Valentines or loves in their lives felt like on this celebratory day of love would feel like.
