Forbidden Love

The lights of this town
They burn down on my eyes
Driving me mad.

You look at me with a smile
So carefree
So innocent
I forget my worries

I smile too

We walk along
Feet leaving prints in the sand
So impure
Just like us

You make me feel loved
The scar on my face forgotten

I finally can laugh
All formalities gone

My past facade is gone
I can finally be myself
Be free

You, a peasant
Me, a prince

Eating the forbidden fruit

Consuming the forbidden drink

It feels good
To rid myself of the mask
To scrape off layers of paint

Painted on my by others
Not aloud to shape my own destiny

Love is not one thing
It is a constantly shifting flame

It’s constantly flowing water

It is also a rose bush
With a beauty that surpasses
Even its thorns

Love
Is everything to us

No matter what others
may think
