Pen an absolutely REVOLTING Valentine's Day poem to someone you wish to kill (smother? maim?) with kindness. No more than ten lines, please! Evisceration and filthy, colorful language of yore are a plus. Tag me in the comments, if you wish. #myloathsomevalentine

I Am Watching You

I am like the glitter off a valentines day card

I stick on you and no matter what you cannot get me off your skin

You remove some of me but I appear somewhere else

On your lip or on the side of your face

You think I have gone but days after I am under your finger nail

The worst thing of all you do not know who I am

Am I watching you just loving from a far

Or am I stalking you waiting in the shadows

Am I a handsome prince or a scarred monster

Dark and damaged or shiny and bright like the glitter on your nose
