A Valentine

For years the abuses you let pass quietly

With a heart full of love offered so freely

But when he left, your loyal heart split broken

His words of love remaining loudly unspoken

Through countless years of grief and pain,

You’ve healed and learned to love yourself again.

Although no longer a Vocal + member, every now and then, I can't resist responding to a Challenge and take time out from my other writing projects just for fun.
