I feel love

Lovers embrace, kindness and warmth,

I stand alone, in the cold of hate,

people tell me love is sacred,

I stand alone in the dark,

Preachers speak of kindness to all,

I stand alone, kindness berefet from me,

Peers glare and stare when I am with the one I love,

So I stand alone, losing my love to the gospel who regets me,

Queer is not something wrong,

Yet I stand alone,

The closet is cluttered and full of the forgetten,

And yet I stand alone,

I am told that I am not wrong, love is love,

And I stand alone in the midst of love,

Love is for the straight and righteous,

I stand with my brothers and sisters alone,

I will not be alone,

We are here,

We are queer,

love is love and we will love as love is all we want,

we are entitled to love,

and yet I stand alone, loving those I can never be with,

loving those who regect the love they feel,

Hiding among those who tell them to hide,

so I stand alone, feeling the love from within.
