No one said love was Forever
Now it has to be Never
It seems I have to be done
Forever to be the only one
Forever for me to be alone
Forever to watch
Forever to be on the outside
Forever to be without her
Never to touch her again
Never to feel her body
Never to be happy with her
Never to love her
Forever and Never
Two terrible words
At least in this case
Worse ones I’ve heard
What's wrong with WHO I love?
Be it girl or boy…
What does it really matter,
as long as WE enjoy.
How dare you criticize
what I feel?
Who the hell are you to size
the depths of what is real?
Deny what you feel
if you really can
Try and tell me what you really want
is to be with a man
I have seen your eyes when we touch.
I have felt your hands.
You responded just as much
to my intimate plans.
Make yourself unhappy
to please all the rest.
But remember that I was there
to give you nothing but the best.
If it wasn't meant to be,
we wouldn't feel it now.
If it was so bad,
God would have erased it somehow.
So, go back to your homophobic world
that you pulled me out of.
And let me find someone
that God can be proud of.
How can what I feel be wrong?
The love I have is pure and strong
Why does she see it as a sin?
When the feelings come from within?
To deny what I feel for her
Would be just like murder
I would be killing me
Living a fake life – a wannabe
Life doesn’t have to be
What everyone else wants of me
I am a single person – one
I live for me – and then I’m done
I love her a lot
She can see that
She’s blind to what she’s got
So she keeps me where I’m at
I am not a closet dweller
I live in a home – not in a cellar
I deserve to be known
Not shut up and out in the twilight zone.
She keeps me hidden, out of sight
A deep dark secret only spoke of at night.
No one knows I am here
No one sees the single tear
I am in a box that I can’t escape
I had it in my hand
Fragile and unexpected
Right within my grasp
To touch it was wonderful
Feeling it was a miracle
Heaven couldn’t have been better
Hell wouldn’t have been hotter
It seems to have flown away
Just a like a butterfly
Hatched just a short time ago
Only to die quickly
It doesn’t have to be that way
It can live a long time
It has to be nurtured
Not tortured.
I had that once
For a moment in time
I had happiness and peace
And then it was gone
My rage is incredible
My pain is insufferable
My sadness is intolerable
My love is still there
My hurt is intense
My heartbreak is immense
My whole demeanor is tense
My love is still there
My tears are endless
My sorrow is bottomless
My ache is ceaseless
My love is still there
My happiness is gone
My joy level is none
My peace is done
My love is still there
What do I do?
