Sky Blue Poet Ballade

Goth Valentine

Roses are black and violets are grey,
                    And candy hearts say ‘Yuck!’ and ‘Ew!’
                    At least they would if I had my way.
                   And no hugs and kisses from me to you
                 There wouldn’t even be hearts or ‘love anew’
                  Especially not pink cards saying ‘Be Mine!”
                 No smiles and laughter and love shining through
                      On my very own Goth Valentine’s.

                  At Valentine’s dances no one would stay
                 We’d slouch on the couch, all day that’s what we’ll do
                 We’d all yell at Cupid, “Just go away!”
                 Everything I say I want to be true 
                 ‘Cause the real Valentine’s Day just makes me blue
                 And if it’s doesn’t change soon, all the world’s goths will whine
                And we will be upset that the Earth never knew
                       What it’s like on Goth Valentine’s.

                 We’d have to keep the lovesick smoochers at bay
                 And all the ones who afford time to woo
                Because we goths don’t want to be led astray
                Or we won’t be able to start the goth debut
                And keep everyone from becoming as mushy as glue
                Hopefully we can keep them in line
                maybe we can turn them into goths too
                Then they can celebrate Goth Valentine’s
                  
                Then we can make a party out of a fray
                 And it will all turn out fine
                I hope this doesn’t sound cliche
                but, have a happy Goth Valentine’s..
