An Innocent Crime

I feel so lost and out of place
Like I am standing out of line
I never knew falling in love
Would soon become my crime
My friends have betrayed me
Because of the choices I make
As if my existence in their hearts
Was their only biggest mistake

My parents have abandoned me
Left me on the streets to fade
Where has my good place gone
Now I feel alone and so afraid
No body understands my ways
Or the things which I truly feel
I used to ponder how pain felt
But now I wish it was not real

Long ago I made a bad choice
One that changed me forever
A simple act of falling in love
Has made my only family sever
I do not understand them at all
Or the way they can simply see
They want to stay here locked up
While my only wish is to be free

On winter days I’d come home
Running into my parent’s arms
They were always there for me
To protect me from any harm
But a simple act of falling in love
Made them kick me out the door
I once was a part of a family…
But they don’t know me anymore

No one would understand...Even if I explain what happened...and I find myself asking the same question. How could falling in love become a crime?
