February Poetry Contest - Valentine’s Day

Across the way

My eyes locked

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

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFbmJdJjVv

Her fingers clasped onto the stone

Trying to find way to hold her back

A sign of reluctance?

A sign of guilt?

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQN23t6Hir

Her hair grazed her skin,

jagged like glass

Splitting the skin

Eyes succumbed to toxins

The stare of strangers

The weight of pain

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2XWWFEY5A

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

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgwfXss9iE

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

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MxsjGxK0B

Sometimes there are haters

And sometimes you can love them

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

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

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzIb1KCBGs

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?

What to do

I stand up without thinking

I advance till my hand overlaps hers

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmzQy1fvoc

Her eyes lock into mine

I feel her imaginary arms holding onto me

Clutching to my body

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6P6nrZv0O

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

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaYyqQUnkd

I hold her against me

A hold of hope

I watch as a man approach,

he slips a rose between my fingers

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1GNH0Ae4a

Her eyes drifted up

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

I slip the flower into her hand

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNBgSok2zO

This, ‘are you sure?’ Coming to play

Will she change her mind?

Will I go with her or stay with her?

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzEmmvCVLh

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

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAiCMANVRf

That day was Valentine’s Day

Even if it wasn’t official

It was ours

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVklwe3qiTn

The day we met,

The day I saved her

And perhaps,

The day she saved me
