Forbidden Love

Our love is forbidden. It never should be. It is easily realized. We both can see. Though I can’t help myself No more than can you. I doubt we can hide it From everyones view. So what will we say? When our love comes to light? Will our feelings go crashing As rumors take flight? No one understands It’s so hard to see. What would you want? With someone like me? Could anyone think We might fit like a glove? Could it possible We might be in love? I have something for you. You have something for me. Does it really matter just what that might be? Should we consider How others may feel? Is what we do wrong So our love we conceal? It’s so hard to fight back when you’ve done nothing wrong Yet someone else thinks Our love can’t belong. T’is a world full of judgment In which we are born. These are the pillars On which our love is shorn. A little bit wormy And it seems like some rot But these are ideals Our society has taught. So do I follow rules Of someone long dead? Or fallow my heart And take you to my bed?
