Forbidden Fruit
Unrequited love is the
forbidden fruit of the heart.
And if you lust for its taste,
it will tear your heart apart.
A love that can never be;
drains dreams of all their magic.
And like a moth to a flame,
results are often tragic.
Behind a facade of smiles,
you try to hold back the tears.
Yet hope is mired in despair;
where it has languished for years.
Loneliness results in a
deluge of sad emotions.
And it feels as though you've cried
enough tears to fill oceans.
You suckle reality
on the bosom of the night.
For fantasies morph into
shackles at dawn's breaking light.
Sequestered in make-believe;
love has brought you to your knees.
But within dreams, you get to
be with whomever you please.
