Valentine's Day Poem by Tessa Monaghan

There comes a day
when love is there
and in the air
The day that everyone knows
and should love in many ways.

It starts when your little
you get something no matter what
A day you love
As you grow older
it begins to truly resemble something
Meaning of this day goes up and down
and back and forth.
You never really know what to expect anymore
You count on your close friends
to be that one.
Just for fun
and to try avoid feelings of imperfection
and loneliness.

The day of love
Valentines day.
The day that we start to swear
that if we are alone that day,
there is something wrong with us
and there is no hope.
Filled with sadness
and dispare.
Then for those who have someone for them
think highly of themselves
and can be happy
and filled with beating hearts
and great smiles.

Then
you think 'bout this
Do people really need a day
to show someone that they love them?
Should that be everyday?
If you really love them,
there should be no need
of February the 14th
as a special day.
It shall be that special day
everyday.
365 consecutive days
52 consecutive weeks
and 12 consecutive months.
For ever more.

Valentines day
it causes pain
joy
happiness
depression
hope
and hopelessness
Whats really the point
when there's no valentine
for valentines day
