"Another
Depressing Valentine's Poem"

Well here I am alone another Valentine's Day.
I'm sort of glad it's overcast, and clouds are in the way.
For years I hoped and waited for the girl in dreams to come.
I polished up my life and blew my horn and thumped my drum.
She never came around, I don't know why nor understand.
She must exist I tell myself as I extend my hand.
Yes, here
it is again, a meal for one, a day for tears.
Another poor sad situation like it's been for years and years.
Are you still out there muse, and are you young and pure
Or are you old like me, and still alone without a cure?
Will we ever meet as fate allows in dreams and books?
Or do we fail to see each other with our glancing looks.
Another
day for hearts and flowers don't you know
Another cause for celebration of the love we grow
But since I never knew you and you failed to come to me
I really can't explore a love with just sincerity
And so I sit here, pen in hand, attempt a meager smile
I'll say I'm still awaiting you as I have been all this while.
Well here
I am alone another Valentine's Day
I'm sort of glad it's overcast, and clouds are in the way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now, they are not what they
seem
And if you love me as I love, then this must be a dream.
I'll close my eyes, and brave the rain, and blow a gentle kiss
And crawl into my bed alone, as ever come to this.
