Lesbian Love

Not true, but it reminds me of my friends. This is for anyone who is gay or lesbian, and hasn't told their family for fear of being disowned, or kicked out.

I look her deeply in the eyes,

seeing love I can't accept,

knowing feelings here are wrong,

denying heart of what it wants.

 

Homophobic family,

homosexual daughter,

preferring boys over girls,

for fear of her family.

 

never knowing what to say,

never knowing what to do,

hiding truth froma a family,

that loves the lies.

 

I look her sadly in the eyes,

I take my hand out of hers,

I turn my back and walk away,

wiping tears, as they fall.
