A forbidden love

Is like a locked door 

One side despair 

The other side true love

This door can be opened 

In many different ways.

 

One is confrontation 

Trying to break the door down

Can cause both results

Or fear

A fear of the future

A fear of the past 

An indifference forced 

Between the lives of 

Two people.

 

The second is the box of keys

Many options 

With only few unlocking love 

Tenacity with the door 

Is often tested, and strained 

With every key that goes down the drain.

 

The third is the locksmith

Patience

Evaluation 

Understanding of the door 

And understanding of the value 

That lies behind

But many are not prepared

For the cost the locksmith demands

Time.

 

For all three 

May bring you into the home

Keep you secure 

In the flame and the warmth 

Of love...

 

But failure of all three

The lack of 

Bravery

Understanding 

And patience 

Will lead to a place of infinite doors

Infinite possibilities 

Infinite failures 

A loss of love. 

 

Be brave 

Be understanding 

Be patient 

And the love hiding 

Behind the security of that door 

Will embrace you 

With all it’s heat and gentle flame 

As you are the wick

That it longed for

And he is your same.
