A/N: Okay this poem was inspired by Brokeback Mountain even though I haven't seen it yet. Of course it doesn't have to be interpreted that way. Really the only reason I put this poem in this section was because it was inspired by a trailer I saw for the movie. This poem was meant to just be in the perspective of someone in anguish and can be taken any way that you wish to take it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Brokeback Mountain. I wouldn't even consider this poem to be about the movie so no worries!

Forbidden

If I was to say that I loved you

More than I have loved anyone my entire life

Then why should it be forbidden?

If I said that there was nothing I wanted more

Than to just see you again

Then why should it be forbidden?

The pain that surrounds me is always there

When I remember the fleeting love we had

It seems that it now consumes me

Like a knife stabbing again and again

And there is nothing to stop the internal bleeding

The wound remains forever open

If I was to say that I could not live without you

And that only you could ease the pain

Then why should it be forbidden?

If I said that the sight of you

Makes my heart beat faster than a drum

Then why should it be forbidden?

So now I will say it one more time

I love you forever and always

More than you will ever know

Why should a love so strong

Be forever forbidden?

A/N: Okay so criticism is always welcome as long as it is constructive. I welcome anything that might help me improve my writing.
