Suspended

White lover's touch.....

There's is beauty in diversity, no doubt
There's beauty in learning new culture, new styles, new places, new dancing, new music...
The beauty of loving that difference 
What you are not, you may become
What they are not, they may become
And sometimes that glue works so well

But what if you are suspended like me
Up there somewhere, maybe nowhere
The hidden woman, the secret desires that the public shouldn't know
That the family shouldn't meet, the grandmother may not like
     Its that difference thing again

Loved behind closed doors
Promised in locked whispers
Accepted in shut lips
Needed in the "darkest hour"
Suspended 
Suspended 
Used, misused, reused.
