Valentine's Day

Updated: Feb 28, 2019

I think it’s time that I should really give

my heart a chance.


Despite my heart still breaking I cannot

ignore his glance.


Tonight I’m giving love to someone new—

They like me too.


With lust it’s sometimes hard to tell when

everything is new.


I kissed his lips to find some help, but it is

not the truth.


No matter what I tell myself, he’s not as

true as you.


I know your lust has landed on some other

lips divine.


New places and new people—boy, you really

changed with time.


Yet in the end I know that you will always

think of me.


When you are searching for that lust yet still

feel so empty.


I’m fine at night, but there are feelings I

cannot forget.


Like how your skin would feel right now against

my broken chest.


Some nights I wish that you were sleeping next

to me instead.


Still,

I pray that you are not the best love that I

will ever get.

About The "Author"

I was born and raised in central New Jersey-- lovely, I know-- as a Quaker/Jewish child hybrid. I grew up with a love for reading and writing (as my dad was an English major). I lived and attended school in NJ until my sophomore year. I transitioned into a boarding school in Pennslyvania, where my passion for writing, art, performing, ACTIVISM, and (of course) poetry, flourished.


In my writing, you're going to find me. Whether that be my struggles, my thoughts, my stories, my successes, it really depends on what you decide to read. Feel free to contact me any time for questions or even just a conversation about stuff. Happy reading!
