Surviving Valentine

Those who go on surviving somehow
In the Witness Protection Program of the heart
Who have left their countries and families behind
Cast out from the common time
As if they were dead to them thus
Forced to betray themselves
Those who chose to tell the truth
About love its secret workings
Where the real history is written
Under an alias in code
It was always an argument
About admiring either the animal
Or the angel who is stalking them
Those who choose loneliness
And those to whom it is given
