two hands
interlocked
fingers intertwined
hearts combined
step in sync
a rhythmic flow
that is all they did these friendly foes
they ran
they raced
couldn't look their attacker in the face
fear
why should they fear
to be themselves to let the world know
about their love why can't they show
two hearts true
just wanting to say I love you
two hands
interlocked
fingers intertwined
hearts combined
their screams echoed
their cries unheard
as a sea of people hurled their slurs
Faggot
Dyke
Freak
Mistake
Mistake
mistake
what was their mistake?
in the wrong city they went
Now their love lives on
only in cement
was it their fault
how is it their fault
they didn't know what you'd do
two hands
interlocked
fingers intertwined
their hearts combined
to be themselves to let the world know
their love
to make their mark
making this world a little less dark
What was their mistake
Two hands

PoetryI just want to start sharing some of my poetry. I have a lot of my own pieces and most of it was written when I was in a kinda bad place. Though I would really like some criticism and feedback so that I can start working towards being a better poet.
