Closet

Closet

by Camy

I knew for sure

true love would never find me

I sat there wallowing

in my own personal brand of misery

Women came and went

Some I loved, some were just delicious

But we never clicked,

until I saw your face at last

And I was truly horrified!

'cause you were not a girl at all

But my best friend for whom I would gladly die,

and a man to cap it all.

So I leapt into the closet

Behind the coats, behind the duvets

There was no way at all

that I could possibly ever be gay

There I spent my teens,

my twenties, and almost my thirties

Before I realised if there was a god

this is what he'd meant me to be

Out I jumped and took your hand

You were as shocked as I was

True love blossoms where it's found,

that we're both men doesn't matter at all.

Oh Yes!

I love this Camy.

A happy poem about the closet

Who would have thought it possible.

Lovely!

Nice to see this lovely, witty, sparkly poem getting an airing.

Now, all you have to do is write some music for it to turn it into a song.....

I pretty much echo what Des said. Didn't expect a happy poem about the closet! Very touching <3.
