Forbidden


Blinking, blinking, sun in my eye,

Easily stretch, I roll out of bed,

Can’t seem to help but look to the sky.

Always remember the words that I said.

Unique is the only way we get by,

So hold my hand as our hearts fill with dread.

Equals in everyone’s mind, but us they deny.

 


It will be our ruin.

 


Luck was involved when our eyes met

Oh, how I was already so ready to go.

Violence ensued when we held on,

Exactly what did we do wrong?

 


Your love sustained me,

Our love erased me,

Unfazed the world was from our misery.
