Notes About The Poem

No worries - fiction!

Valentine Schmalentine

VALENTINE SCHMALENTINE Walking on bleeding hearts like eggshell parts My valentine broke Cupid’s angel wings I don’t know what to believe when he brings Ample heart-shaped boxes of Chocolate darts We’ve been together since I don’t know when He loves me he loves me not a gold ring He comes home when he wants to, it’s his thing Doesn’t like when I question where’s he been Hopefully he’ll propose on bended knee Expecting a dozen wild red roses Or lay some myself where he decomposes And his valentine, that’s me, will be free

LOL...just a fairytale. My husband is a great gift giver not that I need them. He's just a romantic. We met each other on Valentine's day when I arrived at Navy A school. So we can't help but enjoy the whole Valentine SCHMALENTINE thing. :)
