How dare you Stereotype girls As worthy of a bouquet And not How dare you Imply that You were not to be seen With her in public Was she a monster, a ghost Or something else? Was she ugly or what? Maybe she wasn't as pretty As those girls You've been following on Facebook Liking their profile pictures Every time they make updates Or that ******* the wallpaper Of your phone Or that girl you've always been dying for To be your girlfriend Who looked so much like That teen star on TV. How dare you Tell her you loved her Call her baby When all you did in the end Was left her For another girl Who now bears your future baby How dare you Drive her home after work For a week or two Ask her if she still loves you Because you think you are still In love with her But then after a month You're with another girl Took pictures on that Famous hilltop Then said she was just a fling How dare you Read her poems Make her believe You admired her poetry But all you did Was get this idea And tried writing a poem For another girl you courted How dare you Demand for her time When you were so bored Of all of your free time And all she did Was to free her me time Just to compromise How dare you Tell her you feel the same When all she supposedly Wanted was to be just friends But you hid from her That you already have your own girl How dare you Dare me Was I a fool When all I thought That love Was the most beautiful feeling? How dare I?
Last Valentine, I gave you my heart but the very next year you throw it away. (Originally written for spoken word.)
