Hello all! I don't own Batman or any of the characters, of course. That all belongs to DC comics. Enjoy!

Roses are red

Dead violets are maroon

Sugar is sweet and so are you

Although, now I have realized

That indeed sugar is not sweet

Only a bitter, cocaine treat

His hair bright green

Red lips like fire

My situation is truly dire

But he is my sugar cane

My sugar tart

The aching cause of my bleeding heart

He loves me so

He loves me not

How do I know I won't be shot?

Though I must be strong

For with him I know

There are no warm beaches or cruises

Only stone cold beatings and bruises

The only thing that fills my broken life

Is death, despair, heartache, and hurt

Smiles and blood all over my shirt.

Tears well in my eyes from life's twisted lies

But I know

That I am your harlequin

And as you lift up my chin

With that lovely grin

I remember why I linger

I love you.
