sad singles

It has started early this year
Promos for romantic dinners for two
The prices of flowers jacked up
Throw in a box of chocolates for a small discount
Plan your dates in advance
Be blinded by all the red
So much of it
Roses and hearts and wine and love
It's all so red
Like blood
And I absorb it all
Watch as people embrace this commercialism
Of... What? Something sacred?
I scoff at the idea
Laugh at this stupid celebration of love
How embarrassing it must be to partake in this nonsense
I pretend that none of this bothers me
I laugh and insult
And hope it hides just how lonely I am
Behind this crumbling facade
