Shadows of February

In February’s gentle sway,
Lovers whisper sweet and near,
A heart-shaped shadow marks the day,
As I watch, consumed by fear.

Roses bloom in vibrant red,
Chocolates melt in warm embrace,
Yet here I sit with thoughts unsaid,
In this lonely, crowded space.

Laughter rings with sweet delight,
As envy whispers deep inside;
I ache for love both day and night,
While joy feels distant, nearly died.

Yet beneath this bitter view,
A flicker shines, faint but bright,
For every heart that breaks in two
Can find its path back to the light.

Poetry

Longing for Love

I have so much jealousy inside
I am jealous of
Of couples holding hands
Their closeness
The way love sparks in their eyes for their significant other.

I long for the laughter,
The whispers shared late at night,
The comfort of a warm embrace,
A love that feels just right.

I watch them walk together,
Two hearts in perfect sync,
While I stand on the sidelines,
Lost in thoughts that make me think.

The simple things they treasure,
A glance, a gentle touch,
I crave that kind of magic,
Oh, how I want it so much.

But deep down, I know,
I must learn to find my peace,
To nurture love within myself,
And let the envy cease.

For every heart has its journey,
And every thread its time,
Perhaps one day I’ll find my own,
A love that feels sublime.
