Poem 2<\/span><\/p>\n

Valentine\u2019s Day<\/span><\/p>\n

By: Ashley L Powers <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

February 14th<\/span><\/p>\n

For many represents a day of love<\/span><\/p>\n

A time for gifts and dinners<\/span><\/p>\n

Expected sex, flowers, and hugs <\/span><\/p>\n

Its the day girls dream of engagements <\/span><\/p>\n

And men actually put effort into make arrangements <\/span><\/p>\n

A day I\u2019ve never been too fond of….<\/span><\/p>\n

Never knew this day would hold any importance <\/span><\/p>\n

That it would become a date I will always notice<\/span><\/p>\n

Never knew I love you and goodbye would be in the same sentence <\/span><\/p>\n

Never knew this date would wake me up and make me pay attention <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the day my world fell apart<\/span><\/p>\n

The day Cupid decided to break my heart<\/span><\/p>\n

That dreaded phone call <\/span><\/p>\n

The moment I became truly lost<\/span><\/p>\n

Screams and tears as I held my phone<\/span><\/p>\n

Only to hear these words from my sister….<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashley, she\u2019s GONE<\/span><\/p>\n

Valentine\u2019s Day….<\/span><\/p>\n

You stripped away my mother\u2019s love<\/span><\/p>\n

Damn<\/span><\/p>\n

I knew there was a reason I was never fond of you <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
