A/N: Wrote these a while ago... wasn't going to post them but they're just sitting on my computer so I thought what the hell! :p
Just a couple of short poems - one from Christian's POV and the other from Syed's.
Christian
You stood there, ring in hand.
Buried head in the sand.
Couldn't think, couldn't breathe,
Underneath, silently seethe.
So full of hate, full of lies,
Lifetime full of goodbyes.
Choosing her over me,
Hurting yourself, you couldn't see.
It's ok, nothing more to say.
You left me, your wedding day.
Tension rising, in our chests,
Couldn't put our love to rest.
Hebdon Bridge, a place of dreams.
My hopes shattered at the seams.
There, the writing on the wall,
The day my pride took a fall.
Rejection hurts so much inside.
Nothing else to do but cry.
Your feelings gone, or so you said,
Hidden feelings in your head.
Tried so hard to forget you,
So much easier to say than do.
You stood there, hand on my cheek,
Found it so hard to believe.
That was the day that you chose me,
Out on the square for the whole world to see.
We went home, a life ahead,
My life partner, in my bed.
Syed
So much hurt and so much pain,
Rejecting you in the rain.
Trying to forget our love.
Praying to a God above.
Told to leave, no one cared,
Turned to alcohol in my despair.
Parents nagging, get a wife.
Not what I wanted with my life.
I wanted you, the man for me,
Took me far too long to see.
Gay and Muslim, out and proud,
Told of my love for you out loud.
You took me back, to my surprise,
You were everything in my eyes.
That was the day my life began,
No more secrets, you were my man.
At last our love was strong and true,
After all I'd put you through.
My parents turned from me that day.
They had nothing more to say.
A year on and no regrets.
Yet, the past, hard to forget.
But there you are, down on one knee,
Speaking of your love for me.
Marriage and child, things I thought had gone.
How could I ever think that this was wrong?
I just wish my mum would realise,
It's not a sin sleeping by your side.
