Hidden Love

Soft and slow is love's strong grip
Sure as his hand on her hip
Exciting and brand new starts
The fast beating of two hearts

Fences and walls built up around
Places where no one will hear a sound
Whispered vows and secrets kept
Sneaking out while they all slept

Truths they wish that they could tell
Entangled deep in love's spell
Feelings that are forbidden
Feelings they must keep hidden

Wanting only to be free
To show their love for all to see
Instead hiding behind masks
Making lies their daily tasks
