Numquom Periit Amor

Love stares back at me - eyes twinkling, asking. 

But it is a dangerous love.

A touch here and there, a soft kiss; a feel.

Not to be known, not to be seen.

A secret love.

Can we hide our little secret? Or will they know?

Are they watching us? Or do they turn a blind eye?

Keeping our masks on at day, we slip them off at night.

Slowly, daring, lovingly; caressing, a fleeting kiss.

And it burns but if feels so good

Not to be known, not to be seen.

Will they know as we gaze at each other?

For just a little too long; an understanding passing between us

You ask me; love in your eyes and it is reflected by mine

They never have to know

But I wonder.....

Letting Go

Our hands clasped together

Our fingers entwined

You always brought a smile to my face

I always protected you no matter what

But I was holding on to a ghost

I felt you slipping away

There's nothing left here for you

You told me you were slowly going insane

You didn't want to fly anymore

And I tried my best

But my best wasn't good enough

I'll remember your smile and the twinkle in your eyes

I'll let you go now even though my heart's breaking

Little sis, I'll always love you

Life was too much for you

But you were always smiling

We'll meet again

In this life or the next

Goodbye

Your big sis,

Lena
