Sad Valentines Day

By Ronita Lee

Today is Valentines Day
A day to show a love one you care
But how can you hold them and kiss them
When no one is even there?
Today is a day of us together
And not a second to be left apart
But knowing today won't bring those things
It continues to break my heart.
I know I'm supposed to be happy
And I really look the part
But how can I smile
And pretend that I'm happy
When a piece is missing from my heart?
Today won't change the crying
Today won't change the pain
Today won't change the fact
That heartache is now a part of my name.
Today for me is lonely
Today for me is untrue
Today for me is wishing
That once again I still had you.
But wishes are like fairy tales
They rarely do come true
So today is a day of loneliness
And me being sad and blue.
Today for you is laughing
Because to you my love is a game
While you're happy spending time with friends
I'm left to drown in pain.
Today for me is loneliness, heartache, crying,
Praying that soon again you'd be mine.
