Poem 2

Valentine’s Day

By: Ashley L Powers

 

February 14th

For many represents a day of love

A time for gifts and dinners

Expected sex, flowers, and hugs

Its the day girls dream of engagements

And men actually put effort into make arrangements

A day I’ve never been too fond of….

Never knew this day would hold any importance

That it would become a date I will always notice

Never knew I love you and goodbye would be in the same sentence

Never knew this date would wake me up and make me pay attention

It’s the day my world fell apart

The day Cupid decided to break my heart

That dreaded phone call

The moment I became truly lost

Screams and tears as I held my phone

Only to hear these words from my sister….

Ashley, she’s GONE

Valentine’s Day….

You stripped away my mother’s love

Damn

I knew there was a reason I was never fond of you
