I gave my HEART away right there,

where loving you was forbidden.

I spent a LIFETIME standing still,

where even a moment was forbidden.

I kept returning to that SAME lonely street,

where showing up each day was forbidden.

I set my soul on FIRE with your name,

where even lighting a single lamp was forbidden.

I held on to the MEMORY of your face,

where remembering you was forbidden.

I stood TRAIL for loving too deeply,

where questioning you was forbidden.

I BROKE quietly, piece by piece, for you,

where breaking at all was forbidden.

I let my hands LINGER on empty spaces,

where touching the air you once filled was forbidden.

I traced YOUR absence in the corners of my mind,

where remembering the emptiness was forbidden.

I carried the WEIGHT of shattered dreams,

where piecing them together was forbidden.

I burned LETTERS I could never send,

where keeping them safe was forbidden.

I watched the embers of hope DIE alone,

where saving even a spark was forbidden.

I traced your SHADOW on cracked walls,

where chasing it was forbidden.

I let my TEARS fall on broken glass,

where mourning in full was forbidden.

I gave my heart away right there again,

where loving you was always forbidden.

    The repetition is effective, and a reminder that this kind of behaviour is so hard to resist. Forbidden love is the most painful.

    We all chase forbidden love in our life. Some was not worth the chase.
