Violets are blue,

Can stop me from loving you,

Some say it’s sinful,
Some it’s wrong,
And just wrong,


I don’t know much,
But when push comes to shove,
I definitely don’t believe,
There’s such thing wrong as love.”

My parents emptied their pockets of me and left me to evaporate on a concrete slab.”
