Forbidden Fruit

You could never admit to me that you thought I was attractive

So I held everything in and just waited for things to happen
on their own

And you know what happened while I was waiting
I ended up alone 

I want so bad to change the tone of this poem
but how else do you depict losing something 
that you never even got to own

I never wanted you to just throw me a bone

Or to lay a kiss on me that I felt down to my soul
because truthfully I wanted more than to feel wanted 

By you

a sincerity like mines come once in a blue moon 

I wanted us to pull through all the bull  

and plant roots 

you will always be my forbidden fruit
and I will always crave your juice
