My Valentine

I stood at the grave,
Looked down to the dirt.
Trying to be brave,
And not show how much I was hurt.

Valentines day is here,
I have flowers in my hand.
Now come the tears,
As I lay them down.

My mother was my everything,
She was my whole world.
Id watch her as shed sing.
Smiles all over, eyes full of happiness.

She died about a year ago today,
In a drunk driving accident.
So Ive come to say hello, if I may.
I get up and look at the grave once more.

Some say that valentines day,
Is a day of love between a man and a woman.
Well for me, its not that way.
Its just another holiday.

Everyone at school,
Is passing out heart shaped cards.
Trying to look cool,
Claiming they felt love.

I look at the flowers,
Daises were her favorite.
I felt like I stood there for hours,
Just staring at the grave.

Maybe I did,
But I really dont mind.
Because valentines day,
Is just another day left behind.
