A Poem for Valentine’s Day
I remember the time
I first saw your face
I remember your smile
I remember your grace
I remember your sweetness
I remember your glow
I remember everything about you
I couldn’t wait to know
Why did you let things
get in the way?
You were always so busy
and never could stay
I made it too easy,
it was never a game
And when you knew you had me,
you took while I gave
But I could not win you,
No matter how hard I tried
I gave you my all
From deep inside
Though you were careless,
I remained true
And even though I loved you,
what else was I supposed to do?
My heart went to pieces
my heart came unglued
My memories were broken
with fragments of you
I played you a song
but you did not dance
You played with my mind
but wouldn’t give me a chance
I called to you,
but you did not care
I looked for you
but you were not there
I longed for you
but you were not willing
Your silence was icy
it was cold
it was chilling
For so long I cared
my feelings remained
I’d give you the best
my hands ever made
I’d give you my strength,
Like I gave you my heart
You had it all along
right from the start
Why did you change?
What did I do?
What was your problem?
What got into you?
But now it is useless
No longer will I plead
I wrote you another poem
that you never will read
I remember the time
when you would have come running
And though you don’t love me
One last thing I must say
Goodbye, sweet girl,
Happy Valentine’s Day.
