Untitled Poem by Mia Perez

Do you really know how scary this is for me?
To hide our love for no one to see.
It gets harder
day by day
for me to keep my mouth shut,
from screaming to the world that,
'I love you and you belong to me
and me alone! To keep you by my side.'
Why won't you let me speak? !
You claim to love me was that a lie,
if not then let the whole world know
of our love.
I don't care what others may say or do.
All that matters is you,
us,
we.
I'm tired of sneaking around,
telling and keeping secrets.
If you won't let me speak
then I have no reason to stay.
And with that I take my leave.
