Love Poem: Affliction

Affliction

In a world
Unwanted
The two were alone
Banished by the misunderstanding.

He cried on his chest
Hush
He caressed his supple lips with his,
Why were they to be alien?

In a world 
Close minded
The world shut them out
Thinking that their love was wrong.

He ran his finger tips across
Tears
He confided in him
Lovers of the same.

In a world
Immoral
The words they always heard
Running away to take shelter.

He touched his rain dampened hair
Tremble
He listened to his heart beat
Drifting to sleep.

In a world
Cold
The hearts of the saved
What will save them from themselves?

He holds him as he's falls
Love
He's there to comfort him through the nightmares
Sleepless night.

In a world
Fire
The all burn
The apocalypse breaks through the sky.

They return to their apocalyptic romance
Calm
The hold each other 
Welcoming the chasmal sky.

In a world
Barren
There are no more daunting voices
This void is eternal.

In a love
Eternal
Their bodies are no more
Their spirits coexist, there is no more judgment.
