Anti-ValentineI should have just stayed in bed,
This excuse for a holiday fills me with dread,
Pink hearts and flowers all around,
Someone should burn them to the ground.

The lovely couples all so caring,
Please do try to keep from sharing,
For goodness sake get a room,
This terrible holiday will be my doom.

Flowers die, and chocolate goes fast,
Get jewelry if you want it to last,
I guess I should say "be my valentine"
But I think you know where you can shove that line.Anti-Valentine6 years ago in Other

The Ultimate Guide To Not Losing Your Sanity On Singles Awareness Day

1. First off, look at your calender, now back to me, now back to your calender. Now. Back. To. Me. What did it say on the little box under the month of Febuary on the day of fourteen? Valentine's Day? Oh darling, there must have been a typo, the fourteenth of Febuary is Single's Awareness Day. Never forget that. Even if you're not single.

2. I know what you're thinking, "It's the fourteenth and I'm alone, I'm such a loser I don't want to show my face to the world." Well darling, who cares if you're alone, I mean really. This day is the day to wreck Surviving Valentine's Year Two1 year ago in Reviews & Guides

Valentine's Day alone.Anti-Valentine's Day Poem2 years ago in Concrete Poetry

Anti ValentineThe day where chocolates are made
and a dozen roses are bought
I'd rather sleep through
this day I dread
because the one I wanted to share it with
has their own special some one
not me.

Don't ask me if I have
a valentine in mind
I don't want
a diamond ring that shines
or a secret
I love you
to keep.

So don't remind me
about the day
that I can't go out to play
without that stupid emotion-
what was it called
love?-
in the air
to suffocate the happiness
out of me.Anti Valentine2 years ago in Free Verse

Happy Valentine's Day, BuggersIn the shortest month of the year
Lies the day we all fear.

It sneaks up to our homes,
Hiding in bushes and dodging garden gnomes.

"Not scary," you think,
"Disguised in pink."

Then it hits you like a stone.
You're all alone!

No one to date,
No one to hug,
No one to kiss,
No one to love.

For comfort, call on your mates.
Then remember that they all have dates.

What to do, what to say?
How to make this pain go away?

Lock yourself in your room
And wait for your eventual doom.

And to everyone out there,
All the lovers,
Happy Valentine's Day...
You stupid buggers.Happy Valentine's Day, Buggers8 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms

The Anti-ValentineI don't want your candy
I don't follow the bloody books
No I don't want to hold your hand—
Enough with the pity looks!

I don't need a guy to be happy
No, not a chick either
When it comes down to the two of them,
I am just fine without either

Stop chasing me with Cupid's arrow,
No I don't want to hold your rose,
Thanks but I am allergic to Hallmark—
Why?! Because I don't own any pink clothes!

Keep your chocolate kisses
And crappy on-the-spot rhymes
If you're going to stand and gawk at me
I'm leaving, keep your stupid valentines.

I AM FINE HERE ON MY OWN!
So please get out of my head!
My heart is still only healing,The Anti-Valentine1 year ago in Free Verse

Anti-valentine's Day 1 year ago in Visual & Found Poetry

Days of ValentineAnother brokenhearted Valentine's Day
Where nothing goes quite my way
There's no one special giving me a 'tine
No one asking me to "be mine"

Alone I wander the halls at school
No one to hold hands with
or drool
over

No boy to call my own
No one, at least, in this town
So what can I do?
I'm single
And misrable

Doesn't any boy out there
Have even a little crush on me?
If so, who can it possibly be?

I'm wasting my time

Anti-ValentineEvery rose may have its thorn, but unfortunately not every thorn has its rose. Such is the case with Valentine’s Day, a day destined to make you profoundly uncomfortable, whether you are in a relationship, swinging through singledom or somewhere in between. If you’re dating, February 14th becomes a kind of romantic pissing contest. Inevitably, someone is the romance winner and someone is the despicable romance loser who must spend the next 364 days atoning for his or her paltry offering of daisies, baby’s breath and musical card.

My Anti-valentineOur life was so perfect
Our world was just how we wanted it
We laid together under the stars
We let nothing bother us
There was no heaven
There was no hell
You said you would never leave
You kept hiding the truth
Every time you looked into my eyes
All you ever told me was full of lies
I've moved on now
I have no more pain
I have no more sorrow
I found true love
It wasn't you

The End of ValentineWe had plans
We had dreams
We had only us forever
So it seemed.
We were young
We were new
It had only been three months
But are love grew
You swore you'd never give up
And I did the same for you
Now I'll always remember the pain of surprise
When you told me that we're through

What could I say?
What could I do?
How will I ever find the strength
To say goodbye to you?
Where will I go?
When will it end?
Who can I trust to take me through
And help me start again?
Yet my heart will not believe that it's the end.
I walked the line
You changed your mind
It's the end of Valentine.

That was Christmas
This is now.

Anti-Valentines PoemHearts and roses and kisses galore,
What the hell is all that shit for?
People get mushy and start acting queer,
It is definitely the most annoying day of the year.
This day needs to get the hell over with and pass,
Before I shove something up Cupid's ass.
I'll spend the day so drunk I can't speak
And wear black for the rest of the week.
Guys act all sweet, but soon it will fade,
For all they are doing is trying to get laid.
The arrow Cupid shot at me must not have hit,
Cause I think this love thing is a crock of shit.
So, here's my story... what else can I say?
Love bites my ass... Fuck Valentines Day!Anti-Valentines Poem6 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms

Though Afraid of Wolves I Seek Your Forest Hearti. My mother used to say
if you’re afraid of wolves, don’t go into the woods.
I never listened. I used to imagine
my blue winter-fingers through your hair—
a pack of wolves through the trees,
hungry and searching.

ii. These days I tend toward a kind of prophecy for my mental health.
I miss when you used to read the future for me.
I found the slow deliberateness
of your fingertips along the turquoise backs of my cards
soothing.

iii. I have begun to learn a new language
so that our hearts might speak directly to each other,
ventricle to ventricle, as they did once on my blue bedspread

Anti-Valentine

I think I’ll go anti-valentine
All the teeth-rotting candy
If I don’t get any of my own
That’s just fine and dandy

I think I’ll go anti-valentine
Because it just isn’t right
All those lovebirds walking
Hand-in-hand late at night

I think I’ll go anti-valentine
For at least one more year
But don’t think for a minute
That I will shed a single tear

I think I’ll go anti-valentine
But don’t you worry a bit
If I see couples and red roses
I promise not to throw a fit

I’m not crazy, it’s just natural
For me to be anti-valentine
Because this year yet again

Misguided Devotion        The current so strong,
As if gravity wasn't enough
To keep a man grounded
In one spot
For an eternity,
        The constant surge
Of freshly strewn
        Memories seeping
From the duct work
Makes every stroke of my paddle
Seem forgotten
As if I partook in the lusty lotus.

Valentine's Day"DAMN!" Matt groaned as he tossed out another burnt batch of chocolates. He just had to go all japanesse this year, didn't Mello?! He heard that L was working on the Kira case in Japan and suddenly the blond had to learn everything about japan. And speak the language. And celebrate holidays like the japanese.

"What are you doing, Matt?" asked Near as he walked into the Kitchen. The red head turned and looked at the albino holding a robot.

"Oh, Hey Near," Matt said as he turned back to ripping off the top of a bag of chocolate chips and setting up a the double boiler, again.

"What are you doing? It' s late," Near repeated.

An Anti-Valentine PoemHow do I say this without it hurting?
I don't know what love is
I've never felt it
How do I know I've never felt love?
It's something you just know
I'm obsessive, sure, and I cling to an idea
But I've never had a deep emotional attachment
I know you'd like to believe that I love you
And to some extent, I do,
But I can never give you the things you want
Because I'm not sure I have them to give

Those who give their hearts
Are destined for heartache
While those whose hearts are stolen
Fall helplessly into love
Like lemmings from a cliff
Love is blind, so you can't set your sights on it
It cannot be pinpointed
It cannot be forceAn Anti-Valentine Poem3 years ago in Free Verse

anti-valentinei guess, if you were to really think about it, this would technically be my anti-valentine.

we never actually had a valentine's day to spend together, since we were together and apart so quickly. there wasn't much going on those few months. actually, i don't even remember if it was months, or weeks.

if you had spent valentine's day with me
though i know you never would have,
and if you had given me a bouquet of sunflowers
though i know you never would have,
and if you'd sat with me eating pink popsicles
though i know you never would have,

just to let you know,
i would have given the sunflowers back, because my favourite flower is yelanti-valentine3 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word
