A sad look across my face
Don’t want to leave yet
But I don’t want to torture myself
With this touch—no touch game
Am I forever to wait
For this to be okay?
With every moment
Spontaneously unplanned
There are times
When I just want to pause
Don’t look at me that way
I’m not sure what I see in your eyes
Don’t know if you’re undressing me
With your eyes
Or looking into my soul
A simple touch sends shivers
Lightning bolt electricity
Through my body
And we’re not supposed to be
Doing this here, now
At all
But that’s never stopped us before
- - - - - - - - - - - -
We’re two people
Against the world
And sometimes, I think
The world might win
Without one person
On our side
How are we supposed
To make it in this world?
We play our parts
Perfect friends
In front of parents
Perfect lovers
Behind your
Bedroom door
And still we’re
So sad when
Kept away from
The one person who
Can make the scars fade
I worry about you
And you worry about me
Why is it that we have to be
The only ones that
Can see through
To the inside of the other?

My possible GLM poem

Close my eyes
Protect me from the world
Put your arms around me
Tell me it will be okay
Dry my tears
Comfort my fears
Tell me they can’t reach me here
Convince me that I’m safe
That as long as I’m happy
They don’t matter
Tell me that their rumors don’t exist
Whatever happened to blind ignorance?
Maybe I should just give them a reason
A reason to talk
A reason to know that what they say
What they say is true
I may not be like them
But that’s no reason for them to hate me
I don’t need their label
I’m not something that they
Can cram in a box and say
That they’ve put me in my place
I won’t give up
I’ll just make things difficult for them
If they can’t see it
They can’t talk
I’m not going to hide
I’ve got pride
I’ll hold my head high
I will not cry
Their words cannot hurt me
They can only set me free
Free of this lie I’ve told
A lie to protect myself and you
Could they know that what they say is true?
