Valentine's Day Poem Final

Valentine's Day

It’s February 14th and love is in the air

Everyone’s got hearts in their eyes and my God I swear

If I see another couple playing tonsil hockey in the halls

I’m probably gonna have to go and punch some guy in the balls

Cause there’s no real sting so bitter as knowing

That when the day ends, you’re the only one going

Home to no one and nobody

While everybody else is sharing affection with their body

And somebody

And anybody… but me

Instead I’ll be binging Netflix on T.V.

Probably watching a rerun of Lie to Me

Because it’s plain to see

That there was a mistake in every heartbreak and every heartache

There was a liar and a cheat and some guy thinking with his meat

Instead of his head or his heart

So when can I start

When can I sort through the lies

And find my prize

The one and only

The one to show me

That love isn’t as hopeless as it was for Ted

He was even single when his best friends were wed

I mean am I going to have to search a lifetime for a lifeline

A small sign that designates that in time I’ll find that girl that becomes mine

Or can I?

Will I?

I have a finite amount of patience

And there’s an infinite number of patients

That have died from a broken heart

An unlucky start

And a missing part

I’m missing my art

My muse, my inspiration

That fuels my creation

To become more than an insane creator

Word maker-Poet-Writer

Person thing and such

Oh it’s too much

It’s too little

I’m little but I can still see

There must be some greater future for me

With a wife, kids, grandkids

Family

Valentine’s Day is just one day in a year

But I’m still here…

I’m still alone

And I’d like to take a loan

From the heart bank

My heart’s blank

And if the check bounces I guess I’m in debt

And the interest hasn’t really gotten me yet

But still I’ll keep trying

Because here I’m on the edge of living and dying

The social aspect to romance

Is at a glance

Just a play of words and an exchange of faces

Of phrases and praises

But don’t mind me, I’m gonna be

The Fortune 500 CEO of Romance International baby

And you’ll see

And you’ll know

That this lonely heart, will have a platinum card to show

That my love is worth it’s weight in gold

But if you want it now, take it, I’m sold
