In the little over 2 months since the sudden death of my wife, I have be revisiting some writings I had done years ago. One in particular about Valentine's Day from about 8 to 9 years ago, while I was going through a very painful divorce, seemed to stand out. While it had been written from a standpoint of pain and anger, it's strange I also included views on love lost. Something I am dealing with right now. So no matter how Love's Curse may be touching you, I felt it was time to share this...I would love the feedback...

Someone could be Lacking Love Right Next to You…
God…That Almost Sounded Romantic…Sorry
Getting Back on Track…
Now if Your Heart is Full…Your Love Complete…
By All Means…Wear Red…
But if Something is Missing…
Dress All in Black…
Deep Down…
It Feels Better not to Pretend…
