valentine's day is only for the lucky

another valentine's day alone
doing what i do, year after year
i'm sitting here, i'm all by myself
thinking, romance is dead, i fear

valentine's day is only for the lucky
the priviledged, the few
there is no mr. wonderful by my side
there will be no dinner for two

another valentine's day alone
no cards in the mail, an empty box
no roses to brighten up my day
just the passing of time on my clocks

valentine's day is only for the lucky
the priviledged, the few
there is no mr. wonderful by my side
there will be no dinner for two

i recall valentine's days of my youth
only the popular kids got cards
my heart was broken, time after time
valentine's day, for me, was so hard

valentine's day is only for the lucky
the priviledged, the few
there is no mr. wonderful by my side
there will be no dinner for two

valentine's day tears open new wounds
that scar my broken, tear stained heart
i have come to hate valentine's day
the memories cause the tears to start

valentine's day is only for the lucky
the priviledged, the few
there is no mr. wonderful by my side
there will be no dinner for two

Oh Karla, your poem reads very well. Now, I must say, "I hope you'll meet a special person to brighten your future Valentine days and you'll have many happy ones."

Love, Patty

I know those sentiments too. Very rarely have ever had a Valentine card

Heartfelt write of longing and wishing, Karla; but you are NOT alone. You have ME; what more could you possibly want? I am glad we were able to spend Valentine's Day together; and I am especially glad we had a gift from Mother Nature. That snow was wonderful; too bad it didn't last! But boy, I sure got you good with that snowball, didn't I?? LOL

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D

You are my best Valentine! And you will always be! Just remember that~

Happy Valentine's Day, Karla. Cheer up, I'm alone today, too. And, I am back to posting, be it on a scaled back basis these days. I'll still be here, just not quite as frequent, so keep in touch, k?
Love ya, friend.......

Great poem of yearning, Karla! Well done! There are a few million women who have never met Mr. Wonderful either, hehehe! Also a few million who wish they never had! Hehehe! But, dear poet, you are known and loved by family and friends here on the Den and elsewhere. You can be your very own valentine by putting a smile on your face, a flower in a vase and eating some chocolates! And so I say:
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY KARLA!

Oh Karla...sweet dear one,
Valentines Day is'nt just for lovers...but a day for loving expressions to those we care most about. Look around you dear and see all the eyes of love that are upon you today and everyday. We share your pain...not just for you to keep locked inside, but to divide among us all so that we all will help you carry the burdens you feel and hopefully will lighten the load.

Hugzz to you,
Dee

So painful Karla to learn that you are alone this important day which is totally devoted for love and romance. What a sad write. Hope this will be the last to pass you this way. Other valentines will greet you with smiles flowers and kisses. do not take Ed's advice. Karen is not enough to fill that gap. Mr. wonderful must come beside you in the next valentine. Just for get the dry valentines of the past years. Expect beautiful ones in the coming years. your brother and friend, abdinoor

Very deeply felt, Karla. This day is what YOU make, so take yourself somewhere special, and pamper yourself at a day spa! Let someone massage away all the stress, sooth away all your cares! Get the hair and nails done! Buy that dynamite outfit you've been wanting!

You want dinner for two, have it with your sister, she loves you more than anyone outside of your family can anyway...Just another day, hon, as far as this writer is concerned...but a hurtful, and painful write, that I would prefer to see someone I am associated with not to have to write...Find Peace thru Writing, Ed & Rufuz

Karla, I'm sorry you feel the pain expressed here. And boy did you do a wonderful job of expressing it. The only Valentine's gift I remember is a box of Sucret throat lozenges, which should tell you that this is one holiday that I've never been attractive. It's the little gifts on non-traditional days that mean the most to me. So pick another day and forget this one ;-) (p.s. Happy Valentine's Day from me, if that counts)

I'll be alone too this Valentines.....and many others. Here's a way to enjoy it.......Light a candle and serve yourself your favorite meal. Thank the Lord you don't have a man complaining about how much the cocolates and flowers costs these days, Turn on your favorite music, scent the air with something that pleases you, and tell yourself how lucky you are to have your company on a day for love. Then kiss the day goodbye, knowing next year will be better :-)
