From What Is Wrong

((If you don't like anything gay related please don't read this piece. Thank you))

My love for him was stronger than I could imagine.
He saw through my fake smile, my hidden face.
And found the heart within the broken lies.

He loved me for who I was.
He showed me his true feelings,
True love I thought was lost.

And, though our love was real.
To them, it was wrong
To them, it was a horrible sin.

Their eyes held so much hate,
So much unnecessary hate.
We just wanted to be with each other,
Just wanted to love in peace,
Our own peace.

Yet what is peace when the one you love is taken, on account of it.
Because someone thought our love was wrong,
People thought it necessary to punish us.

I lost him to Them,
Lost him to their hate.

You didn’t deserve to die my love,
Didn't deserve to be punished for being in love.
I wished they had taken me instead.
For life without you is impossible,
They just couldn't comprehend that.

Why can’t a man love another man?
Just because a ‘book’ say’s its wrong
Makes it wrong?
Love holds no boundaries.
Until this world understands that, it will forever be lost.

From What Is Wrong,
From what is said to be wrong.
I lost the one I love,
To the demons that said so.
To the demons that say love has rules.
