Valentines

Love left it shyly for a time

Under stones and dinner tables

Winking eyes replete

With gems and stories

Told by you to countless others

You would look at me

And I tried to look away

Now you're gone

I'm still looking

Confused

Candles wink

On empty bedroom floor

Cigarette with window open

Gems flying in

You'll email in time

Hazard a phone conversation

No hope though

We're over that long ago
