Valentine’s Day

Across the way

My eyes locked

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

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWxP9Os8nt

Her fingers clasped onto the stone

Trying to find way to hold her back

A sign of reluctance?

A sign of guilt?

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGVgqlhpT7

Her hair grazed her skin,

jagged like glass

Splitting the skin

Eyes succumbed to toxins

The stare of strangers

The weight of pain

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJzUdbHd7o

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

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T6gMcBdpc

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

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpG9CBJBe7

Sometimes there are haters

And sometimes you can love them

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

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T0daffnOA

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

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFShrHA00u

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?

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe78Q08XKat

What to do

What to do

I stand up without thinking

I advance till my hand overlaps hers

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHnj0FOsHC

Her eyes lock into mine

I feel her imaginary arms holding onto me

Clutching to my body

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GgrXd9rjZ

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

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqamhbQ1u0

I hold her against me

A hold of hope

I watch as a man approach,

he slips a rose between my fingers

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfHdnTCYkQ

Her eyes drifted up

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

I slip the flower into her hand

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQBjTBHA4e

This, ‘are you sure?’ Coming to play

Will she change her mind?

Will I go with her or stay with her?

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloiUqqAj4b

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

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkXHpYaZLP

That day was Valentine’s Day

Even if it wasn’t official

It was ours

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO2o3GMPAx

The day we met,

The day I saved her

And perhaps,

The day she saved me
