Secret Love

I see you standing over there
and yet I cannot go to you.
An encounter in the hallway
must be marred by sneers and harsh words.
I cry into your shoulder at night
for the animosity we must pretend.
We're enemies to the rest of the world
and yet we're lovers to each other.
Every time I speak insults to you
inside I scream out.
My heart burns with the need to touch you
to feel your hands upon my body.
One day this war will end
one day evil will be suppressed.
One day we'll be free to love each other
one day we can go.
