for...Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is just a day or two away...so, I thought about it anddecided it was not only too commercialised  but also a rather cheap occasion people use to use those they claim to love, be in love with...  I wrote this poem.
Happy Valentine's Day in advance!

THE THREE WORDS

Three little words
Scrawled on a no longer
Blank page…
Words so small
Yet they take up every inch
Of space…

 ‘Where are you?’
Is what they ask
A hidden sentiment
Behind a question mark…

‘I await you…’
Is what they subtly say
With emotion
Heavily veiled…

‘How much longer…?’
It is what the words
Long to know…
Should they go on
Without the other half
Of the whole!

The words have life
You see
But of course, they in themselves
Are incomplete!

Like a drawn bow
With no arrow…
A lyric
But not a song…
Lips that blow kisses
That never are returned…
Arms that hug a self
Not ever a someone else….
A heart that beats and feels
Inside a soul
Who’s thoughts no one knows…

Such is the life
Of the three words
Scrawled…

On a page
Across a face
In a thoughtful sigh
On the lips of a quiet smile…

Three words that hold
So much meaning
But are used wrong
In today’s world
If spoken or written at all…!
