Dandelions were never my favorite Valentine's gift

I remember peeking through the weeping glass


On that cold night



Footsteps fading into the distance like the


Sound of a warrior holding a blade by


His soft belly.



Dandelions slept on the floor like homeless kids,


The thorns on the roses had tangled perfectly


With the inside of my arm and,



The roses began developing wrinkles


Like a face stripped bare off its


Make up.



Calling your momma was an easy decision


But as they say, 'success don't come easily',


She hung up on me



I remember being a witness to a phone


Flying without wings, and as it landed harshly


On the ground, I realized that I had


Overly reacted to the scenario...



The pieces are still litter we sweep


Daily, together with the pieces of my heart


Which needs a better temple than mine.



That red box you brought resting in the arms


Of a red cloth, is another thorn in the arm.


The chocolates don't taste the same no more


And if I could return them to the shop,



I'd let them know the sentimental pain


All the nights I consumed them like medicine


The times I used them as paint,



And painted your face on the mirror


Before I used the mirror as a dartboard



The mirror broke and my reflection is


Now split into pieces...


I tried to glue them together but,


Blood dripped on the surface like honey_


Thirsty flies buzzed around my hands


And I loved the feeling of being attractive


For once!



I deleted all my phone numbers right before


I restored them...


Booty calls are entirely making my voice hoarse


But, you can't get better, when you already


Have the best...



Pigeons fly over the bed


Carrying dandelions...is that prophetic?


Or it's just a nightmare waiting for your


Fingers to pinch me on my thigh


So that I can wake up and call out


Your name



It's valentine's day and please,


Don't bring dandelions, for, they were


Never my favorite...



Please give me a call!
