Forbidden

Forbidden

By Space_VixenX

Caressing of skin, the skipping of hearts

Two lovers meeting in the shadows

Afraid of being seen, afraid of hurting

Hidden from sight of prying eyes they kiss and coo

But a secret never stays hidden, especially one that's forbidden.

A pair of eyes watches their folly

Emotions arising in cold eyes

Hate, fear, anger, sorrow, confusion

Her promise to him and him alone disappeared

Her heart had gone astray to another

Another man who was with her now

The golden band on his finger fell to the ground

Its meaning long forgotten by its mate's bearer

Her heart was with another, someone close to both

Someone he least expected

Chestnut locks met blonde as the secret lovers kissed

Violet met blue in a loving gaze, which was soon shattered

A shot rang out and a scream is heard

The secret was spoiled and a life's now gone

Eyes that once gave and received love now stared empty

A forbidden love was ended with tragedy

One now dead from a former lover's hand

Gone forever, no more, Gone forever

So is love that should stay forbidden
