Kiss

You claim you're unimportant
Though you mean the world to me
You must be blind, you must be slow
Your beauty's clear to see
They don't appreciate you
You're worth so much more than that
How can they logically hate you,
Treat you like a goddamn rat?
I want to hold you tight, protect you
Shield you from their evil words
Whisper stories in your ear
That tell of sunshine, youth and birds
If only I could steal you
And take you somewhere bright
We would laugh and love and live there
And never have to fight
We'd hide from those who loathe us
Pretend they don't exist
And though it still might not be perfect
We'd forget that when we kissed.
