Behind Cold Bars

by Stephanie   May 1, 2008


Hidden away in the bedroom, behind closed doors
pretending its not happening in front of watching eyes
its all a joke to them, nothing could really be going on
but if they only knew what was right in front of them
how much joy i get from just looking at him smile
the kind that cant be simulated or longed for
the kind you only get when you're in love
too young
too mixed match
not good enough
ive heard it all
the judgments past about an event no one knows is really taking place
and all i can do is sit and laugh inside at their stupidity
for not seeing how we belong together
for not understanding what real love is
and for now its safe behind the curtains in a box tucked far away under the bed
for now i smile at their "what if" jokes
if they only knew
only knew how my heart got a little stronger
how my mind got a little more accepting
how my smile became a little more real
when they find out there will be...
anger
yelling
tears
but now there is love and eventually they'll all see
see that love really does come in odd shapes and in unusual places
sometimes its unexpected in this case unwanted
but it barges in with determination taking no mercy
we are prisoners to love's passion and stuck behind the cold bars of it's reality.

Based on recent events, tell me what u think
