not allowed

A woman and a man

Walk hand in hand

Because they can

They live in a dreamland

I glance her way

She stands slumped

I want her to stay

But I'm stumped

No one would accept it

Not here, not now

Not even one bit

How could they allow

A girl to like a girl

A boy to like a boy

They would hurl

Insults and slurs with joy

I walk over to her

'Hey' I say

My hearts a blur

She's whisked it away

'Oh, hi' she says quietly

We smile

Suddenly I don't care about society

I think I'll stay for a awhile
