Valentine's Demise
by rosangelica.
no bouquets
with pink ribbon to
idolize consumerism
rotten stems
fallen petals
madre tierra frowns
envied by fallen leaves,
now amongst them
II.
I abandoned my husband
while he was sleeping
packed my bags
wrote a note
told him
to never give up
on dreams
like he did mine
like he did mine
like he did me
III.
my flaw was to love
to be loved by none
and to love too much
was exactly what my
conservative mother
warned me about
