I feel their eyes watching
As they look at our embracing hands
They think that they already know us
Their eyes full of scorn
They throw hateful words our way
“Look at those fucking faggots!”
Why do they despise us so much?
How does our love affect them?
I don’t like the way they stare
You see the discomfort on my face
And lift my hand to your lips
I feel your breath as you tell me “it’s okay”
Suddenly their glares don’t hurt so much
And pride takes hold of my heart
Because we have something special
Our love can look beyond gender
This is something none of them can say
Sweet splendor they could never steal
They’re still focused on our every move
So, I decide to put on a show
I reach up and press my lips to your face
Faces show their bitter disgust
But yours and mine show only pleasure
Let them watch

People are always going to stare... so lets give them something to stare at.

I truly love this write, it's quite romantic and uplifting.
"Our love can look beyond gender"
^--well-penned.
Thanks for sharing this piece and best of luck! -
I really like this, there is some awsome emotion in this. I will never get people, why they think they have to stick their noses in everything, whether it effects them or not. The last stanza and your A/N were really good too.

wow you did a awsome job and i can feel all your hurt and anger my favorit part of this poem is
You see the discomfort on my face
And lift my hand to your lips
I feel your breath as you tell me “it’s okay”
you can tell that you partner cares for you and really who gives a shit what those people say as long as you wake up next to the person who cares for you then life is worth living

I love the feelings here, a sort of abreviated journey to acceptance- "let them watch"
I think most people react on the outside, but perhaps feel different on the inside, whether its fear, curiosity or even jealousy
I loved this for its expression, and the form.
Well done.
