It's been a year
since she went away.
Taking nothing
more than her name.

In a flash, 
she was gone.
Off to a better life.
I can't say it is wrong.

He holds her now,
in the home that I never could.
Providing all she will need
as I knew he would.

Happy is she
though I can not see,
her smiles of contentment.
I simply believe.

He holds her now
safe from all the pain.
Not one sadness will she know,
if only I could say the same.

Yes.
He holds her now.

Standing in sorrow
with a strength somehow found.
I place a single red rose
on the frozen February ground.

Happy Valentines Day my love. . .
