"This is a poem about a man who feels as though he has to hide himself and his feelings from everyone around him he soon realizes that he doesn’t have to feel ashamed of love."
In the city streets where danger resides,
There's a gangster with a heart that he just can't hide
He's got a tough exterior but inside he feels soft
Falling for a love that makes him feel lost
He's a gangster in love caught in a spell
Fighting for his love ready to raise hell
In the midst of chaos he found his peace
A gangster in love his heart released
He walks the line between darkness and light
But love's got him questioning
What's wrong and what's right
He's got a reputation feared by many
But love's got him acting all sweet and plenty
He's got a heart of gold beneath that tough façade
Protecting his love he's willing to break
Any odds In a world of violence he yearns for affection
A gangster in love defying all expectations
He's a gangster in love caught in a spell
Fighting for his love ready to raise hell
In the midst of chaos he found his peace
A gangster in love his heart released.
