today,
valentine’s day,
is the only day some people feel loved in their relationships.
the wife who is used to abuse might not get punched in the face.
the boyfriend whose girlfriend hates him might get affection.
all the cheaters will buy their gifts and take the selfie.
valentine’s day makes people forget about their real shit.
i guess it’s a good thing,
right?…

Some can forget why they’re still in a toxic relationship.

roses,
a nice dinner,
a little better than usual sex,
and everything is all good.
in a few days,
when the spell of valentines wears off,
everything will be back to normal.
they’ll be blowing up your phone telling you how ain’t shit pookie still is.
a’shinkasha is still having an affair with her co-worker.
nothing has changed.
like social media…

Valentine’s Day isn’t real.

it’s an illusion.
he is still trash and she is still a whore.
that other fool needs to leave and that demon needs to stop aiming for HIV.

if you feel alone on valentine’s day,
try to remember:

All the toxic shit you know about and have seen before this day.

this includes our parents and their dysfunction as well.
hope you have an amazing day.
you are enough.
