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

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBim6tCymG

Her fingers clasped onto the stone

Trying to find way to hold her back

A sign of reluctance?

A sign of guilt?

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMwya8QH3E

Her hair grazed her skin,

jagged like glass

Splitting the skin

Eyes succumbed to toxins

The stare of strangers

The weight of pain

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruLbvDpo2h

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

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87VTRtDnnI

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

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS4Q3pm6FJ

Sometimes there are haters

And sometimes you can love them

Maybe because they’re the only ones there for you to love

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbQSs0eg4E

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

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTHpPL0FKX

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?

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nCWGIOH3Q

What to do

I stand up without thinking

I advance till my hand overlaps hers

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF87BDfOhA6

Her eyes lock into mine

I feel her imaginary arms holding onto me

Clutching to my body

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6odPL0Wlk

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

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIkZ6iVp1O

I hold her against me

A hold of hope

I watch as a man approach,

he slips a rose between my fingers

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvdRzKVraZ

Her eyes drifted up

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

I slip the flower into her hand

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05jjjisUHL

This, ‘are you sure?’ Coming to play

Will she change her mind?

Will I go with her or stay with her?

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMR5HLZHbj

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

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqYWIFdYOE

That day was Valentine’s Day

Even if it wasn’t official

It was ours

41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJdfrIrhaQ

The day we met,

The day I saved her

And perhaps,

The day she saved me
