Hearts in the Shadows

‍

In a house where love should always shine,

Two hearts in secret, their feelings they hide.

For choices are made, and a path they must weave,

In this world where they find it too hard to breathe.

‍

The younger daughter, with courage laced with fear,

Chose to keep her secret, her heart held near.

She sacrificed her own love, her truth to withhold,

To protect her sister, in a world so cold.

‍

But love is resilient, it cannot be confined,

In the shadows or closets, it's destined to find.

In the end, she longs for her family's embrace,

Unbeknownst to her sister, she sacrificed her grace.

‍

In this house, where love and despair entwine,

Consequences are felt, as choices reveal the line.

She hopes for change, yet in the closet, she'll stay,

In her sister's happiness, her own contentment lay.
