Valentine's Day (Forgotten)
By Ellen Younkins
No chocolates, no flowers, no kisses my dear
I guess you forgot Valentine's Day this year.
What we once had, has come and now gone
No more will be share the morning's first dawn.
The last splinter of light when the moon appears
Are the stars that shine down reflecting my tears.

A bittersweet poem. What once was is no more and it is sad.
I love your phrase "The last splinter of light when the moon appears". It's beautiful.

Good that something was once had, but always sad when that something is no more.

Did you get your partner a Valentine? Flowers? Chocolates? Maybe that would help.
