We Are Forbidden. I Understand.

I am afraid. I am terrified. Fear tortures my soul, For love will be denied. We are forbidden. I understand! But all this hurt I can't withstand. Can you let me love? Is it too much to ask? I force a smile, Crying under my mask. We are forbidden. I understand! But do I really care About your demand? Every footstep is dread. Every heartbeat is fear. I wish for my love... So far, yet so near. We are forbidden. I understand! But our love is eternal Outlasting times of sand. Can you not see That I am dying? It shows in my eyes Even though my voice is lying. We are forbidden. I understand! When I am gone, Know it's by your hand! I am afraid. I am terrified. Fear tortures my soul, For love will be denied.
