Hold the Chocolates, Give Me The Gown

For many it's a day of love and a day of bliss
But for me I will receive far from a kiss

There will be no chocolates nor no warmth
Only myself, the doctors, and all the strength I have to put forth

I asked for a Valentine better than my last
But instead malevolent cells from your touch I was cast

On this day of celebration they'll prep my room and I'll look in the mirror
All as I hope a life without this disease will be nearer

There is no point in asking why
It's even pointless to let out a cry

When life is wretched and people for their actions are not remorseful
The only option you have is to be more resourceful

I have had no choice but to find joy in misery and pain
I keep going because who I became from it all won't be in vain

So Hold the Chocolates and Give Me the Gown
I'll smile through this just like everything that gave me my queen of swords crown
