They know not

The story that noone understands

What we have
No one knows
They talk about it
About how it's a hoax
But they dont have a clue
They will never know
They never had it
That tingly feeling in their toes

I guess I can't blame them
Cause all they've heard are lies
Right from the start
What they've seen with their very own eyes
The tears and sadness
Broken hearts and sighs
The pain and torment
Of love that have died

Replaced instead
Was love for fame
For money
Or just for the name
What we have
Is not the same
They will never understand
Isn't that just a shame?

They scorn
Disbelief on their faces
I know what's going on in their minds
Biting tongues, their lips they pursed
For what we have
Must be a first
Therefore untrue
It is their curse

A curse
What a pity
Such shame
For them to know not of that key
That key to happiness
That key you gave to me
That key Romeo talks about
Blinded, the key they can't see

For what we have
Even Shakespeare will envy
It can't be put into words
In fairytales, you won't see
Not in Cinderella, not in Snow White
Nor in Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty
Love stories, they are beautiful
But baby, they're not the same as we

They know not of us
Nor our lives
What we went through
They've heard not our cries
The boy with no name
Surrounded by hurt and lies
The girl seemingly perfect
Who secretly wants to die

They know not of
The story of that boy and girl
How their lives intertwined
From a past that was so cruel
A midsummer night's dream
With a little twirl
A love that emerged
From a life riddled with battles

Hana you are truly talented,this is such a beautiful piece.just read it 3 times.especialy like this line "Such shame
For them to know not of that key
That key to happiness
That key you gave to me
That key Romeo talks about
Blinded, the key they can't see
For what we have
Even Shakespeare will envy
It can't be put into words"

"For what we have
Even Shakespeare will envy
It can't be put into words
Not even fairytales can justify
Not Cinderella or Snow White
Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty
Love stories so beautiful
But not the same as we"
A splendid poem...:)
