Her Forbidden Love

March 28, 2013

She knows its not right She knows it could never work She knows the root cause of this dilemma Is in the roots of herself, her family Even in knowing all of these She still can't fight her feelings She loves him He is her best friend She knows these feelings are returned But her heart is torn by the thoughts in her head She dreads the day When he decides to confront her with his feelings But she still can't stop her feelings She tries not to look into his eyes for long Because she knows that if she does Her heart will raise that white flag high And she will be caught in a war with herself But she looks into his eyes Mindful of the time And sees how much he cares about her And she looks away Hoping the shame she feels does not show In the end someone will get hurt And she dreads the thought of who it might be Her forbidden love

I too have written on the topic of forbidden love. Afterward I thought it'd be over. I was wrong. you say that you dread it because of a possible hurt. You don't know that for sure. The love is just going to keep eating at you....UNLESS.....unless you just go for it. Don't sit back and wait. If you truely feel as you say you do, then you'd rather try and be glad in that as opposed to sitting in dread until you're bitter. Don't make the same mistake as me. DO IT!!!

I hope you enjoy this poem. My inspiration for it comes from within, as in, my true feelings for someone. This poem may have a sequel, possibly! So be on the lookout for a new chapter in this story to see what happens next! Enjoy!
