in your arms almost every night
having to run, having to hide
we can't be seen in certain places
they're much too full of familiar faces
after such a long road of misery
you've saved me from drowning in the sea...
of hate and cruelty for my own self
you've given me something; a feeling of wealth
but not to be able to shout it out
we must be quiet and lurk about
why is it they don't want our love?
they know it's right, but they've had enough...
of seeing us together, or just to hear
of how we are when we are near
after separation because we're forced
to hide our feelings behind the door
because of what they can't understand
at our beauty, they looked and ran
because for them it's much too real
we have the feelings they'll never feel
we're much more true that they'll ever be
we will not hide for eternity
and by the beauty and grace of God
we will have loved, but never lost

"we're much more true that they'll ever be" i think 'that' is supposed to be 'than'
I can relate to this so well. I was in one of thsoe relationships, it's not allowed, keep it a secret, don't show your love. Yes, it's hard and painful and I'd never do it again unless i'd have to be without that love. Nothing worse than loving someone... and you can't show it. Another fantastic write -
Thank you so much!!!

I'm in a similar situation actually- I have just found someone new after a long time being upset by rejection, and he's not my parents' idea of the kinda guy I should be seeing, I think. Also, he likes-and-is-liked-by a couple of other people I know so we have to keep stuff quiet... but it's putting me in a better mood than I've been in for months, so tis good!
Keep writing

almost a romeo and juliet storyline behind this one it seems. it wasn't until mid-poem I discovered this however. current mindset had me twisting it another completely different way. but that's me, and in the end, you established what was going on, gave the poem some up-in-the air conclusion...and took me away for this little bit with your poem. thanks for the read!

This is very deep my sweet friend. We often find ourselves in relationships that others do not undertsand. They think or believe they know what is best for us and usually act on that premise. It's usually done because they love us though. Thank you for entering my contest. Good luck!
