Love and Class Barriers

I know you want to touch me,

Your eyes says it all,

The subtle gazes you give around the corners of my lips,

I know you want me all-

By your side as your soft voice suggests me,

You want to consume me all over, over and again,

I know you want to hold my hands and give a kiss,

Blow me out with a magical smooch- your smirk says it all.

Signals of love whispers in my head-

Oh I guess I will be doomed in a bad way,

I think you are going to be my one and only,

My forever kind,

But, class barrier prohibits,

I think you want to love me, hold me, want me,

But, damn the class barriers scares me,

A potential love interest is faded when faced with class barriers,

Cultural enunciation and hybridity,

Your life lessons won’t let you open up to me,’

And, my old wounds won’t let me trust you in your being!

Why don’t you believe in people anymore?! – Cause, I don’t want anyone to exploit my reason. How’s that like?!
