Forbidden
He comes to me
a moonlit silhouette.
My fingers dance along his face like spiders
ensuring I’m not asleep.
I pull him in and feel his heart
beating slightly quicker than mine.
Our love is not enough
to end the wars,
to break down the walls,
to solve what cannot be solved;
We stop.
His silken lips reach for mine
and for a moment
we are the only ones alive.
But the magnets between us
are now at opposite poles.
I look into his eyes-
a small blue bird drowning in an ocean of pain.
The same pain that is swallowing my heart.
The magnet grows stronger
pushing us apart.
But not before I say his name
one last time
Romeo.
