A Punishable Crime

Don’t chase me,
Love has no meaning
In a Muslim Girl’s Life.
I understand your feelings,
You are truly honest.
I care for your dedications
But if someone from my family
Watched all this.
I will be afraid, 
They will chop you.
As they chopped animals
For Halal.
Haram is a sin in my Religion
As love; a punishable crime
With a non- Muslim Boy.
