Can Never Hold Me Back (From You)

I really enjoyed writing this poem. After I read it… it almost made me cry. I got my inspiration from Romeo and Juliet.
Tell me all of your inner most secrets
Don’t be afraid there’s no one else here
It’s just me and you
They can never find the secret place that’s within our hearts
You know just as well as I that this is true

Although they try and keep us away
Our love is undying and will never, ever part
Try as they might to say that you’re not right for me
I promise that nothing can break us apart

They can do their worst to me
But my opinion will never change
No matter how much they think my way is wrong
I will still think the same
No, matter what they try, no matter what they do
This I promise you that they
Can Never Hold Me Back (From You)
What is this feeling?
That has suddenly arose in my heart
This feeling that grows ever stronger
As I hold you in my arms
I pray to hold you longer as our time grows short
How I wish that it didn’t have to be this way
How I wish we didn’t have to be apart
All of this constant fighting is slowly eating away at my heart.
What have we done?
To be ridiculed this way
To hold back what we feel in fear
Of someone or something destroying what we hold dear.
But no matter what, as we stand on the opposite sides of the bridge of love
Fighting for the chance to be truly free
No, matter what they say or do to me
This is what I promise to you that they
Can Never Hold Me Back (From You)

The time has come for us to runaway
No one can stop us if we stay together we’ll be okay
There’s no turning back now
The road we walk on is both dangerous and clear
I would gladly give my soul right now

Just for you to find a way back here.
But it’s too late, they’ve already discovered us
Our dreams are in ruin now
Tell me why does it have to come to this
Tell me why now
Why couldn’t you let us live the way we wanted to
This war had nothing to do with him or me
But a lot to do with you
Now I feel like a fool
Holding on to the promise of love that was snatched away
I’m lost and confused as I stand in front of your grave
Trying to fight the tears that I selfishly hide
Trying to find some word or gesture of your to bring me to smile.
How I long to be with you as you sleep in your peaceful grave.

But I know that you would want me to live and be happy
But now there’s nothing else for me to live for
Nothing else for me to say or do
The very thing that kept me sane in this world was you
Now that you’re gone, I’ve lost my faith and my will to fight on
I’ve said one too many times that I long to be with you and now I can be as I lay next to you,
our fates were sealed the last chapter lead us to our doom
But still I promise you that even in death they
Can Never Hold Me Back (From You)
