Little Red

Your name is Little Red

Well your code name, that is

You're kept a secret from Parents

I talk about my Little Red to friends

They know not to say your name when Mom is around

Because in this day and age

I have to keep you a secret to stay alive

But when the lights are low

And nobody is home

I get to show you to the world

It's society's fault that my mother can't know

I'd get kicked out or worse

But when we are in public

They get to see

How much I love you and you love me

Gays are slowly becoming known

But its hard to explain to a parent

How you don't have a gender

You aren't he or she

You are in between

You have long red hair and beautiful green eyes

Am I considered gay or is that just a lie?

But for now you're hidden away

From parents to see

This love that is blossoming

Between you and me
