St. Valentine

A blip on the monitor of
Involuntary human response.
A hiccup of emotion when
Compared with envy,
Hatred,
Lust.

Power comes with the
Absence of love.
Love drains us of
Our strength.

We never learn,
Do we?

Yet they say that
Love conquers all.

Not for you,
St. Valentine.

Not for me.

Not for any of
The heartbroken.
