Not my kind of fetish, S.O., but I always read your poems (I almost wrote "stuff," perhaps more appropriate, given the narrative) because of the thought and skill you bring to each.
I like the beat on the first syllable in the nasty adjective you begin with. Its sound and image set the tone from the get go. I wonder if a few more lines beginning like that may have enhanced that effect.
On the the other hand, I might have finished with
"Or insist upon as your valentine." for a softer ending.
That may be a quibble, but I believe sounds and images are often subliminal.
