February 30th

My heartbeat and your name
were once the same,
now it’s just a thud like all the rest

Love once flowed in me,
Love for you and all you are;
Love for us.

Now loneliness takes love's place

My heart stands alone;
cold as the first snow hitting my cheek
frozen like a January lake,
to thaw again the thirtieth of February

  2. This poem made me cry! :(
    Two things: "now it’s a just thud like all the rest" should be "now it's just a thud..."
    and "My hearts stands alone" should be "My heart stands alone". Typical you, sloppy proofreader!
