A red balloon

Heart shaped

Helium filled

String attached

Valentines gift

Clings to ceiling

Defying gravity

String hangs down

Does it mean

your love

Will fly away

When unattached

Does it mean

She tugs on

Your heart strings

Very very lightly

Does it mean

Those without balloons

Are unloved

And unwanted

Does it mean

She loves red

Gas filled

Plastic bags

Does it mean

You were duped

Into purchasing

Commercialized junk

It does mean

No respect

For the environment

Discarded balloons kill animals
