When they told me violets were blue,

and roses were red,

I believed them.

Never thinking to leave him.

And now my heart is dead,

filled with dread,

spilling off this deathbed.

But I'm just a foolish teenager,

looking for love,

praying for those white doves above.

What a mistake,

what horrible hearts I did take

As I head for those white gates above.

For my english class. Because the writings of Romeo and Juliet, and Dr. Seuss belong together apparently.
