Loving A Criminal Poem by sammie kelley

Loving a criminal is hard they say but,
Loving me is the price you pay,
Its being young but feeling old,
Its loving me with no one to hold,
Its hearing me whisper my love to you,
And you whisper back I love you too,
Knowing I'm alone eyes filled with tears,
Standing alone, empty dreams, hopes and fears,
Then came a kiss and a promise to wait,
Knowing it could be months before my release date,
So tell me you love me because I'm scared and lonely,
More than you will ever know,
Loving a criminal can't be much fun,
But I promise it will be worth it,
Once my sentence is done....
