Bent Perceptions

Everything about us
was off the record
in this out of bounds
scandalous relationship

We eventually
both grew weary
of living a shadowy existence

What the Hell were we so afraid of?

Why must we defend our love?

So we mutually agreed
to drop the pursuit
of fake ass social respectability
and drown out the jealous whispers
with our joyous shrieks
of unbridled
stained sheet
in your face happiness

And guess what?

We ain’t the freak show anymore

Society now is

How fucked up is that?
