When she left just a valentine's card
as she walked out the door, did she know
that hence forward my heart would be hard

and so heavy with grief? Did I show
her enough how much love that I felt
as she walked out the door? Did she know

I adored her? I always would melt
when we hugged and then kissed ... did I tell
her enough? How much love that I felt

even though I had cheated? Oh, hell!
Truthfully, yes, I felt this would come
when we hugged and then kissed. Did I tell

myself lies? That I wasn't a bum?
Is this God's just decree? But to say
truthfully that I knew this would come ...

Who could know that she'd die on that day
when she left just a valentine's card?
Is is God's just decree come to say
that hence forward my heart must be hard?

A valentine themed terzanelle submitted for the 2009 Survivor Poetry contest.
