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

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesu0A3tIeI

Her fingers clasped onto the stone

Trying to find way to hold her back

A sign of reluctance?

A sign of guilt?

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxPNYTOXNm

Her hair grazed her skin,

jagged like glass

Splitting the skin

Eyes succumbed to toxins

The stare of strangers

The weight of pain

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWBkSMQmU4

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

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

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CYc7XpxTJ

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

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4SzrPPGqA

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

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2YhlPKQpd

Her eyes lock into mine

I feel her imaginary arms holding onto me

Clutching to my body

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSed1IJBs5

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

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVSnUzBxl7

I hold her against me

A hold of hope

I watch as a man approach,

he slips a rose between my fingers

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWLLAMdcWU

Her eyes drifted up

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

I slip the flower into her hand

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEswDz8YRe

This, ‘are you sure?’ Coming to play

Will she change her mind?

Will I go with her or stay with her?

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiAdxiS75J

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

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkKMCs2CMi

That day was Valentine’s Day

Even if it wasn’t official

It was ours

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaY5iCalT5

The day we met,

The day I saved her

And perhaps,

The day she saved me
