Valentine's day

I hate this day

I feel the absence
Of embrace
Of touch.
There is no connection
Pulling me home.
My heart is full
Of longings unfulfilled.
The queen sized bed,
Overflowing with pillows
covering the cavernous divide
That fills the other side.
I miss the feel
When lips impress
Upon mine, tips of tongues
Parting through
In electric chemistry.
I ache for the feeling
Of being needed.
