Gay

Contributed by CodyJ on Monday, 21st February 2005 @ 10:17:43 PM in AEST
Topic: oops



He gets to hang.
His head in shame
he shares his pain
to those who'll listen.
His face falls down
as if to glisten
solace from the candle's flame.
Society's candle
gives no warmth.
as he huddles closer,
he burns his hands,
leaving blisters,
their reprimand.
He loves like I love,
with passion,
want, and lust.
But something about him,
makes him so much...
different...
than us.
He leaves the candle's
straightening light,
to find some company,
it just isn't right
to express your love
in the candles sight
or to find a soul
to give you comfort tonight.
Wax falls down
as the candle dies,
hope gives out,
as he dries his eyes.
He can't love like I do,
or so they say.
He won't know what love is,
because he's gay.

great poem overall. I must sadly admit that I am a homophobe, but I'm not going to try to be violent against them. I believe they have the same rights, I just don't want to be around them. It's not something I'm proud of, but it's something I can't change. I love the vivid detail though. Keep it up
