Loneliness on Valentine's Day

Sad thoughts on a day for lovers....

And on this day of lovers

Consider those alone

Imagine as they wait there

Just sitting by the phone

Willing it to ring

Wanting it to call

Hoping that their heart

Will not have to wait for Fall

Their eyes are looking misty

As lost loves fill their mind

Moments of such tenderness

Again .. when will they find?

An aching for a gentle kiss

To wet those dry parched lips

A warmth of feeling from a hug

All these they deeply miss

So send them thoughts of happiness

And visions of release

So they may feel a moment

Of sweet and tender peace

as always Phil, you 'say it true" - When you love - there are three things you ache for, a phone call, a knock on the door and the arms of the person you love. When they are not there - there is an emptness, a coldness, an ache that's near unbearable. That feeling is there all the time but more so on the day for lovers. You have captured the aching longing quite well with
Just sitting by the phone

Willing it to ring
Wanting it to call
Hoping that their heart
Will not have to wait for Fall

sad but so true.

well done Phil

Beautiful poem, you captured perfectly the feeling of being alone and without love on this special day, it brought a tear to my eye as this is my day you have written about....

What a beautiful poem what poignant pain!But this wait seems to be forever and forever and the pain becomes a habit.
