Love Poem: Forget the Guilt

Forget the Guilt

Staring into my pillow as I smother myself,
Any further under and there'd be no way out,
Cursing my heart for its mindless pursuits,
Wondering in vain what this bond is about,

So I pocket your bodyclock, darling? Well surely
That's simply a testament to my power over you,
We can talk long past midnight, and onwards through dawn,
This crash course in connecting is long overdue,

I thought I was building foundations with him,
Then you whisked me away and we whipped up a shelter,
Every touch that we share, I feel for him less,
He shivers without me whilst you and I swelter,

I'm never cold unless we're apart,
When you're gone, I miss you maybe more than I should,
I know it's impossible, and I'm hating the way
That I'm sighing and wishing that the world understood,

So here I am now, where are you my dear?
I thought you were telling your girlfriend the truth?
Yes I know you're off bounds, but you haven't stopped yet
And besides, shouldn't I have some fun in my youth?

All logic has vanished, I'm going against
Everything I believed in or thought was all right,
Of course I feel guilty for our other halves,
But it doesn't stop me wanting to see you tonight,

Early hours of the morning, I know you're with her,
I don't want to think about where you are now,
You'll be mine tomorrow, and so we can stay
Like this for as long as our lies will allow.
