v.d.

don't misunderstand
not the venereal disease
it's much worse than that

don't go out at night
secret societies meet
under red heart moons

arms bursting with bloom
smiles tatooed on every girl
who is not alone

no gun to your head
yet forced to let these nightmares
eat at your vision

so if you ask me
i'd rather live through v.d.
than valentine's day
