The innocence of the world is rapidly fading,
Hearts of a minority are undoubtably aching,
Lives are being taken by a fatal weapon,
Flesh being broken within the means of a second.

A social panic is spread vastly amongst many,
Where is the remorse, if there even is any?
With the increase of statistics of the knife crime rate,
Choose to love in a society filled with hate.

Flowers are lovingly placed on freshly laid ground,
My heart; listen, can you hear it pound,
Mine still beats but another has been silenced,
Ironically so by an ongoing act of heartless violence.

I think of you sweetly,
Storing every memory with you neatly,
Love is a powerful word,
And with that you’d probably think I was being absurd.

I knew from the first embrace,
You would be the one to turn my face,
I can’t help the way I feel,
And with that it is my heart you steal.

You could be the one,
Possibly, second to none,
I have never believed in love at first sight,
But with you, it happened before the next light.

I think of you deeply,
So say you’ll always keep me,
For now just know I feel the same,
And in my heart you will hereafter remain.

Every second with you, I want another,
Keeping our feelings secretly undercover,
You stand out from every other,
You could be my forbidden lover.

I think of you as something more than I should,
I would let you hold and adore me if I could,
You make it impossible to hold back a smile,
Only for you I would go that extra mile.

I want you to know that I feel the same,
To me, it will always remain a shame,
We met at the wrong time; wrong place,
I will never forget the outlines of your face.

Try not to forget me when I am gone,
For I will try my best to hold on,
Only for you.

With you I never feel cold,
You are a true beauty to behold,
Out of nowhere you appeared,
And for your affections I persevered.

You make me feel alive,
For your love; deeply I would dive,
I’m trying to remain patient,
But what I truly desire is your infatuation.

Never have I loved like this,
May I ask for one secret kiss,
You’ve turned my life upside down,
But with you around, I no longer frown.

I hope one day we can be together,
Each and every moment I would treasure.
