They stand in black and white <br />Amongst the oblivious crowd <br />Harmonously bowing <br />Laughter feels the air <br />Whispers are spoken without a care <br />Loving eyes staring on glowing on the theatre set <br /> <br />Stolen passionate grunts and moans <br />Unknown to the other, one is on the run <br />Living two live's, weaving her way as a con <br />Secret lovers make their return <br /> <br />One loves passionately <br />The other takes arrogantly <br /> <br />Last night, there was a feeling of plight <br />She came back early <br />Tears of disappointment flooded her face <br />What she had just witnessed was an utter disgrace <br /> <br />'I thought you were mine' <br />'I thought we were fine' <br />'I really think you are out of line' <br />She cried out with tears of sorrow <br />Wishing suddenly that there was no tomorrow <br />The betrayal of a secret lover <br />In a minute her whole world turned upside down <br /> <br />What joy love brings <br />What hurt it sings <br />When it reaches the end of the ropes <br />And you find yourself facing the world alone <br /> <br />They call themselves secret lovers <br />For no one knows <br />How the story goes <br /> <br />Copyright 2005 - Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/secret-lovers/
