Forbidden Love

I sit curled at the bottom of the tiny stall
I cannot feel the pounding streams
I receive no warmth from the steaming water
I feel only the icy confusion burning through my veins

Such thoughts should not be in my mind
The forbidden relation I yearn for
Understanding I can't live without
I should not even go there

But in this lonely space
No distractions to keep my company
My mind refuses its short leash
Wandering to all the places I shouldn't

Love is blind as they say
So how does it continue to find me
No matter how I hide
No distance away
Keeps these thoughts at bay
My forbidden love
