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
๐๐๐

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.
