forbidden love

more so lyrics than a poem

Leaving you, I try to take flight  

But away from you, I lie awake at night, 

Into you, every part of me feels alive

Loving you feels forbidden at times…

 

I used to wonder if this were real, 

An ecstasy I always yearned to feel

Divine touch, painting glitter and gold, 

Looking into your eyes, you tell me I’m yours

Took me helplessly by the soul,

Now I’m torn, 

by these feelings 

that seem so hard to control

So I lie awake at night, 

Craving you, with every second.. I feel weaker

Craving you, with a single touch.. I fall deeper

Into you, every moment feels harder

Because without you, my eyes search for meaning 

My soul needs the feeling 

You are home, without trying, you are comfort, without giving

You are love, by my side, even when we try to deny

You are love, in my arms, when our hearts intertwine 

When my breath grows weak, I follow yours in sync 

Torn from the same cloth, you and I, how could I

Refuse myself of you, though the world says it’s forbidden 

This love speaks volumes, so we contend to keep it hidden

Because with every moment, you fall deeper

In my eyes, you see clear 

By my side, you feel inspired

Truly cared for, though you deny it

You deny the need to feel safe with another 

I deny my need to feel love from a lover 

We deny ourselves because we know we’re undeserving 

Of this forbidden love we’ve fallen into unwilling

Great job! You conveyed the feeling of wanting something you can’t have very well
