Can you see the sadness in my eyes
I try to hide that I cry
Cause I'm lost without you
And I'm not sure what to do

I long to hold you in the evening air
I try to hide the chill in my veins
Where do I go without you
Shedding tears like a midnight rain

You are the woman of my dreams
I try to hide that I cry
I know I'm without you
Listen to my heart as it screams

I look at you and I melt
I try to hide that I do
Left to myself without you
All of the love you never felt

I can't change how I feel
I try to show you all the time
Pray that I'm with you someday
I love you and I can't conceal
she journeyed
to his alluvial plain
to explore
its enticing terrain

at this destination
they melded together in unison
thence their worlds became
a beauteous union
the doyens of poetry
have made their call
to whit they've ever so subtly uttered
the bush bard must take a fall

we've no requirement
for her uncultured variety of poetry
in our hallowed halls
we only accept tip top quality

the bard of the bush
must finesse her quill
if she wishes to sit at the table
of those masters atop the high hill

Im just a boy
They like to call gay
Ive heard all the words
They say it everyday

I can't go anywhere
Without getting some stares
They whisper in ears
The pain I can't bare

Why can't I be normal
Be like all the rest
Why can't I be straight
I pray and protest

But the prayers do not work
For theres no one around
I wait for the day
To live in the ground

I try so hard to change
I don't like myself
This isn't fair
I search for help

I find a light
That guides my path
I start to wake up
I breathe and I laugh

I know who I am
I let it be known
The darkness has left
And my spirit has grown

I hold my head high
And my feet float off the floor
Push away the sadness
I once felt before

Ive found my true love
He's just like me
Perfect in all ways
We both share are glee

I accept who I am
Im never a fake
This is who I am
So give me a break

If gay is so wrong
Let these words be sung
Your important and loved

Gifted.
Admired.
Young.
Im not gay, but I understand how it feels to be ostracized. Share this with anyone who feels like being gay is wrong, is hurting or being bullied because of their sexuality. Lets get this treading:) it can save lives
Why did you tell me you love me
And kiss away my sorrows
You told me you love me
And that you'll be here tomorrow
But tomorrow never comes
Just a second too late
A moment too soon
As if I was the sun
And you were the moon
You were always just out of grasp
Forever teasing me with the idea of love
lazily the dense fog
seemed to loiter over
the murky river's flow
