Poem for the Day - Hidden Love



We tried to hide it
But were caught
We were so in love
But were found out
We had to conceal it
But were fought
We were so in love
Till problems arose to mount
His Mama found us
She dragged me by the hair
To my Mama's home.
My Mama cried for me
I was too young to have a baby
I understood not, for I was but a girl
His Mama forbade us
Forbade us from each other
We cried for love
It was better when our
   love remained concealed.
Our hidden love
But tarnished by distance.
