Valentine's Day

I had a friend
Who hated Valentine's Day,
The rows of commercial affection
In heart-shaped boxes
Of waxy chocolates
On drug-store shelves,
Walls of cards she'd spend hours
Looking through, for something,
Is all she'd say,
And roses, roses, roses,
Screaming at her
Everywhere she went.
She'd get hammered every day
For at least two weeks
Before it happened.
And complain to me,
About all those whiney broads
On TV sit-coms portraying, badly,
Pathetic angst over their Valentines,
Would he, or wouldn't he?
Their stories always had
A happy ending.
My friend's never did.
She'd start to sober up
The day after it was finally over,
And then bring home
One of those boxes of chocolates
Left-over, for herself,
Because they were half-price,
Is all she'd say.
I told her the only decent
Valentine's Day I'd every had
Was the one I was given a plate
Of heart-shaped cookies,
Clumsily cut-out and frosted
By a child.
She just looked at me,
Half-drunk, and smiled.
