Valentine.

A word of simple pleasure,

Of simple meanings,

And of little meaning to one who has lost so much.

And on this day of loving emotion

The nightmares bring to me a simple gift.

For the cost of a smile

And the loss of a kiss,

They bring to me a memory, lost in the darkness.

And so for now and forever

I shall love you in my memory,

Whilst the shadows remind me it can never come again.
