You are the forbidden fruit.
I'm not allowed you
I cannot touch,
Breathe,
Be with you
I am prevented from seeing you
My life is empty without the touch
Of your gentle caress.
I rot and decay without your words
Whispered softly.
I call out
In the hope you will hear.
My eyes on the crowds
Hoping you are part of them
The desire for you is paramount
I cannot live without you.
But I will have to,
For you are the forbidden fruit.
