Love Poem: Forbidden Love

Forbidden Love

Our love is forbidden. 
It never should be. 
It is easily realized. 
We both can see. 
Though I can’t help myself 
No more than can you. 
I doubt we can hide it 
From everyones view. 
So what will we say? 
When our love comes to light? 
Will our feelings go crashing 
As rumors take flight? 
No one understands 
It’s so hard to see. 
What would you want? 
With someone like me? 
Could anyone think 
We might fit like a glove? 
Could it possible 
We might be in love? 
I have something for you. 
You have something for me. 
Does it really matter 
just what that might be? 
Should we consider 
How others may feel?
Is what we do wrong 
So our love we conceal? 
It’s so hard to fight back 
when you’ve done nothing wrong 
Yet someone else thinks 
Our love can’t belong. 
T’is a world full of judgment 
In which we are born. 
These are the pillars 
On which our love is shorn. 
A little bit wormy 
And it seems like some rot 
But these are ideals 
Our society has taught. 
So do I follow rules 
Of someone long dead? 
Or fallow my heart 
And take you to my bed?
