I was listening to one of my favorite songs at the moment, and with the big V-Day coming up, it kinda spurred me into writing another poem, in honor of the day I love to hate. Haha hope you enjoy.

Valentines Day Just For Today

Excuse me miss but I must insist
This view of you by yourself
Is SO amiss
On a day meant for two
It must be taboo
For no flowers to be given to you

I’m not trying to sway you
Or lay you
Or play you
Or dismay you
But I came by to say to you
That your day doesn’t have to be like this

Cool blank glares say you don’t care
While eyes tell me your lies
As you sit alone
Amongst your glancing stares
At the hated love which surrounds you
An empty chair and a downwards stare
Tells me that we
Are the dancers left seated on the side
Watching others enjoy the music
While its disapointment we hide

So let’s bury our sorrows in a lie
Hide our frustrating loneliness
In the soft comforting sighs
Of the conversations
And meditations
On life and love
That our misfortunes
Have deprived us of
The missing brush we needed
To paint the town red
The empty chair across from us
That said all that was unsaid
We could flip it all on its head
With a few simple words
That, for tonight
Could be the one truth we said

Would you mind if I told you I loved you
Just for tonight?
Amongst the love songs,
Hollow meanings,
And the things we do just to get along
Would it mean anything less?
For tonight I found someone as lonely as me
And we,
Brought together by what sets us apart…

We could deceive them all
Or just each other
Finding the comfort we needed
In the company of another
We can curse love till midnight
Lament over what we wish we could rewrite
And maybe
Just maybe
We could find love
Just for tonight
