Self Talking

So I sit here once again,
another Valentine's Day in loneliness,
knowing it doesn't matter to you.
That to show a small amount of caring
on a day when the rest of the world
shares its meaning would place you
ever deeper into my heart.

I say "it's okay", because you can't
(shouldn't expect to) change people,
can't make some realize
what they are missing,
but can only hope
that they would take notice.

With love comes growth,
one can call it "change" or not.
But if change is growth and learning
what is so wrong with that?

So today, I give myself a hug...
the only one I will feel on this day.

aw...


and I know, the skinless, cold, emoticon isn't quite the same thing, and it's from the wrong person anyhow.

Be happy m'friend.

Where's my doll? She'll give you
the hugs you more than deserve,
and you can know they're from me!

Hey, your doll is in a good place. Until I can finish reorganizing here( which I am trying to do to simplify my life) I then will check on her and make sure she is ready to leave me...my has time flown by!

I'm sorry~~ life had gotten in the way...

This is a painful write, Maureen..wish I were close enough to give you that hug.

Your words hit home. It's enough to go through these struggles but to not have anyone even notice makes it so much sadder. No one shows their heart better than you

At least you didn't spend over seven hours in the emergency room. Besides, hugging yourself is good for you.

Sometimes, darlin', I think she's right where she needs to be. And that is okay by me, y'hear?

it's strange now as I sit looking from outside in...so many years gone by. And I smile at the adventure that brought me to where I am now.

I never realized just how miserable and lonely I was back then. The change of scenery suits me well.

I am wishing a smile like that for you.
Happy belated Valentine's Day M. Still love you.

EXCELLENT! ...

Perhaps this 'write' is extra specially 'meaningful' to me ...
as I am in exactly the same 'place' !   ... ("life and love's" 'black hole') ...

Yes, Happy Belated Valentine's Day. This is a good write - the words anguish and lemonade come to mind, in a most positive way, of course.

Today is Susan B. Anthony's birthday, btw.

I never have been one for this holiday
Never seemed to work for me,
But this year I did get a flower
I think I would have preferred a hug

Enjoyed your poem

Wow I've been there. Kind of hurts to go back to that place, even if taken by a poem and not real life. Thanks for the read
