Out shopping are these women
some are much like me,
beautiful, young and rich
all the 'perfect girl' should be.
But what these women do not wish,
I fear it's only me,
is the hope of a united future
one where I'm with thee.
These women with their riches
could not dream of a man like you,
for you are as sweet as summer nights
as dark as the hell that is due,
to be unleashed when they find out
but for now I care not at all,
for all I want is to be with you
and be with you I shall.
Author's Notes/Comments:
So yes another poem about a girl in love but forbidden love is a facinating concept to me. I feel like love should not be something dictated by law (that is to say reciprocated, true love and not evil, twisted ideals of the word) We should be free to love as we choose and I hope this conveys how hard it is to love someone you are technically not allowed to whether it be family, religious or political restraints its easy to feel alone and I hope this poem conveys how she feels alone but that the love is so strong that she does not care what people will think of her if/when they find out she is willing to be so alone for love and that is a powerful and damning thing.
