Happy Valentines's Day, or as some of my friends and I say, happy anti-Valentine's Day (it's an inside joke). I hope that couples are reveling in the special day where they can shower their significant other with love and adoration, while swimming in their passion.
For those who are not in a relationship, may this be a day for you to pay special attention to yourself and those that you care about. Why not make yourself your own valentine? That way you can splurge on yourself and remind yourself about the qualities which make you fall in love with you and everything that encompasses you.
Anyway, the poem below is not necessarily celebrating the passion and love of Valentine's Day, it rather displays the negative side of romance - when a relationship fails. I'll let you make your own analysis of the poem. Don't forget to comment!
A red rose means love, Yet the one you gave me withers in sight Are we not in love? Was our love just infatuation?
All your flowers withered in my grasp after you said you love me They never lasted more than a day, So who's to say they were not predicting our future?
Your terms of endearments went in through one ear & out the other They never reached my heart, so my heart hardly fluttered
Your flowers had to be discarded as they were signs of your lack of love Your flowers were the signs of unimportance in my life
Your flowers were the signs of your exit from this seven year relationship
Your flowers were your way of saying goodbye
To think, you started buying me flowers after our one year anniversary

Love, light and blessings xx.
