Broken Valentine

Colinjon McCartney 2022 (Glasgow)

Sonnet
Broken Valentine

They say love at first sight
Should bring a guiding light
To bring you out the dark
And give your life a spark

Millions of girls all around
To you only one does count
A smile full of love
Especially when life is tough

When she sees you as a brother
But never as a lover
Sore and painful is your heart
As you feel it tearing apart

I know you will never be mine
After hoping all this time
You are the broken valentine
Maybe one day you will make my heart shine
