Discount Chocolate

A Valentine's Day poem inspired by my muse. #DawnOfTheMachineElves

You would stay up all night
Pining for that which you won't ask (444)
Pure bitter revenge
Against the sunrise

I remember this time last year when you asked me to be your Valentine
posting sucrose pastel-coloured candies with
indistinct smudged out chalky messages
"Situationship Hearts"
& that is still where we're @

I ignored you,
just so I could
scrape together a little bit of my lost dignity
just like I
scavenged change from between the couch cushions
to buy discounted chocolate the day afterwards

#1 source of heartbreak
you made me so uNwell
elated with eUpHoRiA
just like a Magic Spell
Every time we stopped,
like heroin withdrawal
We burned the hours
until the moon resigned
to watch our shadow selves
dancing on the wall

& if you're reading this, Fuck You
I should've left you in the past
with your network state of gangsters
currently burning down the white house
but my condition is debilitating
& you're one of few people sick enough
to actually entertain me

We'll do it all again, probably too soon
Pouring our liquid insides
into this cocoon
