About the Poem

This poem is for those of us who get tired of the traditionally happy Valentines day. Although a sad tone is used here, it is mostly about someone finding the strength to not settle for less than what they deserve.

To My Valentine

Once upon
A time
There was
Truth to the
Myth of what
You
And I
Had found
In a blank paged
Fairy tale.

Snow White
Doesn't sleep
In a casket made of
Glass
Slippers will break
If you wear them.

Walk across this
Written word
With fingers
Gently
Seeking
Loving
You
And me
No more.

He loves
Me
He loves me!
Not
Enough.

To:
My Valentine
Will you
Be mine
No longer . . .
