I am the forbidden fruit, he told me

If I was not forbidden, I’d be all his

I tempt him, he tempts me

We have a pattern of love and hate

What if it’s just lust that ties us together?

What if I succumb to his charm?

Will he still want me, still love me?

Can I even trust him enough to be his?

So many questions I have about him

Yet I still want to dive right into his arms

Those have always been a safe place for me

They protect me from pain, emotionally and physically

I miss curling up into him

So close to him, our bodies as one

One body full of lies, pain, and dark secrets

I, the forbidden fruit must remain a secret

A secret to save us both, him and me

If people know we’ll both be damned

Two against the world, I’m not that strong

I can’t have just him in my life, I need more
