To Be Forgotten

Lust onto a forbidden one by a heart already owned My hope abandoned, I am undone A desire provoked for the unknown Though my gentle words in spirit now lead by pain With a bitter tongue, I will convey A crimson rage engulfed by grief Of such disparity my swindled heart speaks Such infliction forever forced And what may have been, departed course Agony such agony has been set upon Powerful forces bend at the hands of one My soul lies in two and shattered apart One, A life conformed makes untrue my heart Or against the world with my passion intact Away with my desire... I shall not act! Etched in my mind in a corner to be forgotten Lies lust for the forbidden, and my heart forever rotten.

Tis was so deep and dark Elizabeth. The pain and need seem to be the theme, there is a soft glow floating through this. Not sure what that mean except you have a unique talent that expresses your emotions so wonderfully, for one reading it feels they are illuminated even if dark. Really nice.
