Valentine’s Day

Across the way

My eyes locked

A girl staring into the stream as if it’s her only escape

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8im7y8bTI

Her fingers clasped onto the stone

Trying to find way to hold her back

A sign of reluctance?

A sign of guilt?

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBjBZLsN6i

Her hair grazed her skin,

jagged like glass

Splitting the skin

Eyes succumbed to toxins

The stare of strangers

The weight of pain

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAUdvO8d7Z

I watch her from afar

My body itches to move forward

To hold her

To be the hand that holds her back,

Or goes down with her

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVocQCrrYA

It’s Valentine’s Day.

Did you know?

The day of love and chocolates and roses

The day you only focus on the ones you love

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yQynzaWbQ

Sometimes there are haters

And sometimes you can love them

Maybe because they’re the only ones there for you to love

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIGAUjfZ2X

I saw a picture once, at a school,

There was a bridge that said, ‘are you sure?’

Many people jump to escape the surface of life

To dive underneath into darkness

The, ‘are you sure?’ is a hopeless way to help

It’s just a writing on the wall

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTvawDaOOi

I don’t want to be a writing on a wall

I want to go and help her

Can I?

Should I?

Should I let her story fold out how she wants?

Or is this not what she wants?

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse2hj1Kkgs

What to do

What to do

I stand up without thinking

I advance till my hand overlaps hers

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWsNIKzfQ4

Her eyes lock into mine

I feel her imaginary arms holding onto me

Clutching to my body

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdm1LLbRkc

It’s Valentine’s Day.

Did you know?

The day she could’ve been home with someone she loves

But she’s here with me

Holding on to me figuratively

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0WA2LgODM

I hold her against me

A hold of hope

I watch as a man approach,

he slips a rose between my fingers

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysKm09Ht2T

Her eyes drifted up

The pieces of glass that were once shattered are together once more

I slip the flower into her hand

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeMkEZ8xum

This, ‘are you sure?’ Coming to play

Will she change her mind?

Will I go with her or stay with her?

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodrjPNflAN

It’s Valentine’s Day.

We love and we cherish

We hold each other for a day,

Hoping that we can stay like this forever

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY6XhBfR4g

That day was Valentine’s Day

Even if it wasn’t official

It was ours

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPua0jwmXei

The day we met,

The day I saved her

And perhaps,

The day she saved me
