I do not have a boyfriend
I am not half
of a couple
I am alone.

Singly I stand
this St. Valentines Day
wearing pink and eating treats
telling myself
I couldn't care less

But I do care
even though
this day was meant to celebrate brotherly love
and not romantic

But I do care
standing alone
surrounded by people
I wonder why
I am alone

I shouldn't care
it doesn't matter
I'm better off this way
But I do care

So I wrote this right before I fell asleep, hence the slightly over-dramatic quality. But I thought I'd post it anyway. :)

It does have a longing feeling to it - which I love. It's not always easy to mold your writing with how you feel.

Yes, well....it does have a slight over-dramatic quality, as you put it. But I like finding out what people write before they fall asleep...helps me stalk them. Just kidding.

Anyway, nice poem.
