Streetlight Romance

This poem is about the struggle that LGBT couples go through everyday to be together. This is something I feel very strongly about, so I decided to write about it.

There was a girl,

 

Out of control

Black eyeliner

Pierced tongue

Always alone

 

Who loved a girl.

 

Straight laced

Long hair

Cross necklace

Perfect boyfriend

 

They were never supposed to be.

 

He left

She cried

Fell into

Her arms

 

But they were.

 

Lips

Colliding

Hearts

Racing

 

Everyone looked upon them with disdain.

 

Thrown out

On the street

Disowned

On their own

 

They never knew love could be so hard.

 

Attacked

Threatened

Fear

Agony

 

Leaving each other was no option.

 

Making love

Moonlight in her hair

Kissing the sorrow

Need her to stay

 

This streetlight romance continues today.

 

Who will break the silence?

Very strong and emotional poem, and a good one at that. I felt that the way you played with the words, the way you carried the poem out [the format] added emphasis to the overall poem and kept the reader actually reading. The whole story line was good and meaningful too. I loved this poem alot. Keep it up! :)

This was a really powerful write! I liked the balance between the short line stanzas and the long line sentences, and thought that it was a really creative and effective way of capturing the story behind this piece. It was obvious in reading this that the topic of LGBT couples in society is something that you feel strongly about, and I liked how the last line, 'Who will break the silence?', left the reader thinking and questioning the issue itself.
Nice work,

i like it, although im kind of a feminist in hiding, but the way the words were organized was really good. A lot of though and its not just writing "oh whatever" It has a message and i like it. Good Job!
