“One red rose says more than a dozen.” ~ Wendy Craig.
So you love me, care for me?
Your devotion is steadfast?
It would be impossible for you
To break my heart, to forsake my love?
The care you take to never poison our love
Will be the hallmark of your attachment
I would have believed you, I’d really have
If I hadn’t found the pictures from the last vacation
Plastered all over your Facebook page
Posing with a new girl every day
How quickly you change your affections
No one holding your interest for long
Won’t I be a fool to take all your declarations of love
At their face value, as if I was born just yesterday!
Take these valentines, red and beautiful back
And present them to your latest love
In response to; Weekly Prompts- Valentine red, hosted by Sue W and GC
(Edited version of a poem written in 2019)

Thanks Brenda. I thought that instead of writing a mushy poem, I’d go in the opposite direction.
