Valentine’s Day Special

2 Mins Read

Across the way

My eyes locked

A girl staring into the stream as if it’s her only escape

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXfrndUfT5

Her fingers clasped onto the stone

Trying to find way to hold her back

A sign of reluctance?

A sign of guilt?

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxIv94DAtO

Her hair grazed her skin,

jagged like glass

Splitting the skin

Eyes succumbed to toxins

The stare of strangers

The weight of pain

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjbGiXay9m

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

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF5TtvqMH4

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

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt1FomX0zc

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

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnBIKLDo47

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?

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAREZgDNbg

What to do

I stand up without thinking

I advance till my hand overlaps hers

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivhCbT9d90

Her eyes lock into mine

I feel her imaginary arms holding onto me

Clutching to my body

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2CwGfGjob

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

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWFOpRjMp0

I hold her against me

A hold of hope

I watch as a man approach,

he slips a rose between my fingers

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7WMkf9Jh3

Her eyes drifted up

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

I slip the flower into her hand

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsIlQXtqIa

This, ‘are you sure?’ Coming to play

Will she change her mind?

Will I go with her or stay with her?

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kI2EoCu26

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

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3VBY0qxf7

That day was Valentine’s Day

Even if it wasn’t official

It was ours

32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG5kGlkjE6

The day we met,

The day I saved her

And perhaps,

The day she saved me
