Valentine’s Day

Across the way

My eyes locked

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

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6VifDNEbn

Her fingers clasped onto the stone

Trying to find way to hold her back

A sign of reluctance?

A sign of guilt?

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB10dHv5Nd

Her hair grazed her skin,

jagged like glass

Splitting the skin

Eyes succumbed to toxins

The stare of strangers

The weight of pain

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B3B355MLb

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

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetBDi3OSRp

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

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw8kLtMWB9

Sometimes there are haters

And sometimes you can love them

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

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6efNvZbLzH

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

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPC3LnwREI

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?

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQsAAm6dAm

What to do

What to do

I stand up without thinking

I advance till my hand overlaps hers

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliNpyoo3cY

Her eyes lock into mine

I feel her imaginary arms holding onto me

Clutching to my body

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ5Cu51LmL

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

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnjRnvKri2

I hold her against me

A hold of hope

I watch as a man approach,

he slips a rose between my fingers

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCR0WjZ9W9

Her eyes drifted up

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

I slip the flower into her hand

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveOAQWEHat

This, ‘are you sure?’ Coming to play

Will she change her mind?

Will I go with her or stay with her?

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lLwMmnfcD

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

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPxZMrIBu9

That day was Valentine’s Day

Even if it wasn’t official

It was ours

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNokdjhXDn

The day we met,

The day I saved her

And perhaps,

The day she saved me
