In the twilight of existence, where shadows loom,
A heart beats heavy, encased in gloom.
For love, in its myriad forms, is met with disdain,
And souls, vibrant and true, are lost to the pain.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH85HejTucW
Why must the tender be hunted like prey,
In a world that should cradle, not cast them away?
With each whispered secret, each stolen embrace,
A life is extinguished, erased without trace.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrQfwx4nXN
Oh, the cruelty of hearts that refuse to see,
The beauty in love, in its purest decree.
Yet hatred, like poison, seeps deep in the ground,
While the echoes of laughter are silenced, unbound.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ykKa7hQ7v
In the name of a doctrine, a twisted belief,
They wield their disdain like a sword, a thief.
Stealing the joy from the lives that they claim,
As if love were a sin, a blight, a shame.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHmQrHT813
But love knows no boundaries, no gender, no guise,
It flourishes brightly, like stars in the skies.
Yet still, in the darkness, the hunters do prowl,
With malice in hearts, and a predatory growl.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeB5IAtm2I
Each headline a dagger, each story a tear,
As families are shattered, consumed by their fear.
For the right to exist, to love without shame,
Is a battle still waged, a relentless, cruel game.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FjgXES6ff
When will the dawn break, when will the sun rise,
To illuminate hearts, to open their eyes?
To see that we’re woven from the same thread of fate,
That love is a force that no hatred can sate.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExyfwP9Guc
In the silence of night, when the world holds its breath,
We mourn for the fallen, the victims of death.
Their dreams left unspoken, their futures denied,
In a world that should cherish, instead, they’ve been tried.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8ic2GSwS4
Oh, the weight of this sorrow, it burdens the soul,
As we gather the fragments, to make ourselves whole.
For every lost heartbeat, a promise we make,
To stand in the light, for the love that won’t break.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn9tkgxUOZ
Let us rise from the ashes, let our voices unite,
In a chorus of hope, to reclaim the night.
For every heart shattered, for every life torn,
We’ll weave a new tapestry, from the threads of the worn.

In the face of the darkness, we’ll shine like the stars,
With love as our armor, we’ll heal all the scars.
For the world is a canvas, and love is the hue,
A spectrum of colors, both vibrant and true.

That love is the answer, the ultimate belief.
In the tapestry of life, let compassion be sewn,

To a future where love and acceptance abide.
For the fight is not over, the battle not won,
But together, we’ll rise, like the dawn of the sun.

In the shadow of fear, let us stand hand in hand,
For the right to love freely, to dream and to stand.
In the name of the fallen, we’ll carry the flame,
