Fuck Valentine’s Day

I say

Fuck Valentine’s Day!

All that syrupy

Sticky girliness

Like a used tampon

With that rancid smell

Makes me want to vomit

My tired, fed-up heart.

All that pretense of affection

Hallmarked into proclamations

Too big to keep

Makes me want to tear my hair

And say

Fuck Valentine’s Day!

Fuck Valentine’s Day!
