What can I do

What can I do other than to forgo?
Jack and Carolyn will not allow me to
My arm is grabbed and openly twisted
I am forcefully subdued and listed

Yes, it is but with friendly love
How does one poet honor with love and be loved
I have no where to go but to align
I smilingly resign and willingly sign

The feelings are there and may even stay
No one can think of going away
How can breathe be taken without air?
They are reasonable and very fair

Friendship and love are always together
The responsibility to share and solder
It must grow stronger and stronger
No one should have mistrust any longer

Your love and affection doesn’t spare
I find no such place any where
You will shelter me and hide
Let everything remain open and not to confide

Let us not talk or remain in contact
But friendship should always be intact
Let there be no reason to react
Long for each others with mute act
