‘happy valentime's day, ' <br /> <br />I slurred to my shadow <br /> <br />as we both swigged <br /> <br />our respective bottles. <br /> <br />Love overdosed <br /> <br />in a gutter, <br /> <br />dry-heaving and clenching <br /> <br />her agonized abdomen. <br /> <br />like all fiends <br /> <br />we suffer our <br /> <br />slow motion suicides <br /> <br />and depart, <br /> <br />gracelessly.<br /><br />Patrick Szwaja<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/valentine-s-day-is-for-cynics/
