You buy her an extravagantly expensive gift
Diamond earrings or a new watch
And we go out to dinner, lobster or something of the sort
Everything is fine
More than fine it’s great we’re great
(Was that convincing)
Because today is the day we forget
There’s no fighting or tension or contempt
We are filled with love
Everyone sit across the table and toast with champagne
Buy us something shiny like we’re all magpies
No really, we love the roses their scent can mask anything you’ve screwed up in the past millennium
A chrysanthemum will get me over the Witch Trials
And those cinnamon hearts will turn my blind eye to the whole 80% of your dollar thing
‘We love you we adore you, we want you, we need you’
But only today
Tomorrow the boxes will be half priced
You all relax and go back to how it usually is
The earrings are put away in a box and saved until the next year you decide to go ahead and love her
Laying in wait like a dog for a bone,
until next valentines

Because locking myself in a dimly lit house on the seaside and feverishly pouring my soul out on a typewriter is not available to me right now
A letter to me as I turn 22 today
A letter to me as I turn 22 today To all the 22-year-olds in the world, this one's for you. Go out there and conquer the world, it is your age to emerge victorious as you race across life's timelines, striding in the zeal of your highest vigour. It is an obligated way of living, a mere bane of existence, to become the worthiest and most appealing object of praise, a token of appreciation that glorifies the lineage of the family and has accomplished the major milestones that are deemed to be benchmarked and embraced as laid down by our society and the ones that surround us.
