Dear Valentine's Day,
I hate you.
You hallmark-created
Socially-constructed
Marketing-schemed
Holiday.
You say "flowers will make any girl smile"
I say "flowers die just as quickly as falling out of love does"
You say "a big teddy bear will help her sleep at night"
I say "his side of the bed is cold now"
You say "everyone loves indulging in chocolate"
I say "he fed me lies that tasted oh-so sweet"
You say "write her a heartfelt love poem"
I say "reading back on those words only makes me weep"
Who are you to say what love should be?
