not everyone's Valentine gives them roses .. this is in recognition of all those who deserve them but don't ..

Sitting there like that
with knees to chin
and blond hair strewn
still damp,
about her shoulders ..
Just like some
feathered well-worn
shawl and fresh from
her shower,
but still shaking ..
She was such a very
pretty sight regardless
of the bruises ..
Yes those, she tried so
hard to hide
neath well-rehearsed
yet shallow smile
and borrowed bath robe ..
The last time she
wore a matching pair
of cigarette burns,
like those, worn today ..
When asked
how she acquired them ..
Yet once again
replied, no comment ..

Maybe that is what makes the Good sooo Good. Takes experience to realise this as I'm sure you know.

I've not heard it since either! It must be one of those very, very old sayings back from when terrible tragedies happened.Ā Ā 

My greatgrandmother's step mum was a very, very wealthy lady whose father was the captain of a ship. Her mother had died when she was very young and one day her father went to sea and never came back. No news of ship or crew ... they were never heard of again.Ā
