As it has been said:Love and a coughCannot be concealed.Even and small cough.Even a small love.Sadly my coughs are never small. Nor is my love.Nothing I have inside me can be sealed.My heart.My mind.My cough.My love. My soul.Everything is too much. I long for a placeA personAnything to release it all to.Absorbing it allAnd giving it back just the same.It is too much to ask?Is there someone who can take it?I want to be freeBut tied down.Is there someone like me?How can I be alone?I cant contain my cough.I cant seal away my love.I try. But stillIt's too much.Is there someone who can accept me?Who can love my cough?Who can accept my love?Will I always be too much?Is there someone like me?Someone who wont make me conceal it.SomeoneFree me.Keep me.Take me home where I belong.With you.Where my coughAnd my loveWont need to be concealed.I long for a person to release it to.Caring and love it all.Returning it all the same.Where are you?Please tell me you're out there.My cough can't be concealed.Even a small cough.My love cant be concealed.Even a small love.SadlyMy coughs are never small.Never will be my love.------Listen, I don't know anything about rythm or technique in poetry so I just kinda wing it, so forgive me if this is super sloppy. But I wrote this one just before the last two, inspired by me struggling hold back a coughing fit the same way I struggle to take a chill pill when I get feelings for someone
