Forbidden Love

Across the crowded room
she caught him looking at her.
Tears pooled in her deep brown eyes 
as a sad smile filled her face.

Her heart was shattered
as he turned his back to her. 
She stumbled out the door 
running for emotional cover.

Forbidden love is a painful thing 
hidden deep inside, 
never to see the light of day, 
never allowed to fly. 

Abandoned and alone 
just like the house she’s in, 
her heart cries for mercy, 
and then, HE walked in. 

From across a darkened room
they sought each other out. 
You could feel the tension mounting 
as their love drew them along. 

All else was forgotten 
as eyes locked on eyes. 
The surge of desire
lit a fire deep inside.

Their forbidden love,
no longer a painful thing
was free to fly at last
and seek the light of day.
