She felt his hand take hold of hers,

He gave a gentle squeeze,

She felt her heart melt,

At the bliss she felt,

Though it was forbidden love.

She pulled her hand away from his,

Aware of the watching eyes,

She turned away,

Not wanting to stray,

Into the forbidden love.

She caught his glance from across the road,

He smiled the smile of an angel,

She wanted him to hold her,

Put his arms around her,

Take her to forbidden love.

She avoided his stare, looking down,

The arm around her was not his own,

She was with someone new,

But she wanted him too,

Oh, the forbidden love.

The two drew nearer, her in the middle,

She felt helpless, confused,

He fell to the floor,

Bleeding and sore,

Her poor forbidden love.

She knelt beside her wounded love,

Her heart missed beats,

Tears filled her eyes,

Rolled down her cheeks,

Her heart had chosen,

The forbidden love.
