So What If They Know About Us?

inspired by Heated Rivalry, The Long Game, and homophobic hockey culture

By CT IdlehousePublished about 12 hours ago 1 min read

I'm so fucking in love with you

But I can tell no one.

I crave your touch, not just your love,

I'm miserable here alone.

/

Please don't hang up,

I can't stand the silence.

This house feels so empty,

Without your presence.

I'm falling to pieces,

I'm losing sleep over this.

/

I don't fucking care who knows...

I want to kiss you in front of a crowd.

Fuck all the haters and homophobes...

Only love can drown them all out.

I am not ashamed...

I am not afraid...

I am in love...

So what if they know about us?

/

I wake up in this bed alone,

Wrestling with ghosts of my past.

The loneliness hurts me to the bone,

And I'm afraid I'm gonna crash...

/

Into a neverending nightmare,

Where you'd end up leaving me.

My heart would crack like broken glass,

And I would die of the misery.

I know I'm being too much,

But I can no longer deny my love.

/

I don't fucking care who knows...

I want to kiss you in front of a crowd.

Fuck all the haters and homophobes...

Only love can drown them all out.

I am not ashamed...

I am not afraid...

I am in love...

So what if they know about us?

/

I'm done hiding...

I'm done fighting...

I'm done lying to keep the peace.

I'm done breaking apart

Every time you depart

I'm done crying myself to sleep.

/

I don't fucking care who knows...

I want to kiss you in front of a crowd.

Fuck all the haters and homophobes...

Only love can drown them all out.

I am not ashamed...

I am not afraid...

I am in love...

So what if they know about us?
