The One

By AngelicDemonMelisandre

The room is dark and small
The air almost suffocating
There is yelling and anger
There is pounding

It's my heart racing
My parents stare me down
With a look of disbelief and horror
I fear they know

I'm holding back tears
Trying not to let them see
The secret inside of me
One of their biggest nightmares

I remember that day
It was as though i was losing
Everything i had ever known
It all seemed to be slipping away

Never did i fear
That i would be caught
Mischievous and brilliant
I thought i was sneaky

They think it's all over
That i've cleared everything up
But what they don?t know
Is that i continue to lie

It?s a never-ending cycle
You'd think i would learn
But his love is so good
I can't let him go
