(Inspired by Forbidden Love)



I feel so distant from you

Separation anxiety got me… and

I know that it’s selfish of me… but

If I could...

I would...*  

Consume every ounce of you

Down to your soul

I would leave nothing for another’s

Taking, I want to ingest it all

Cupid shot the wrong arrows and now

We’re suffering the consequences of his mistake

When my heart is settled and at peace

Our attachment sparks a glimpse of hope

Another cycle of suffering begins… and

We gladly welcome the pain for… Just

A few precious moments to love

Though chronic, the goodness of this

Self afflicted pain proves, it is

Worth every tear that falls

When the moments of our love goes silent

I would be lying to myself if I said

I didn’t understand you’re hurting

Because we share the same pain

A glimpse of something we’ll never have… together

Somebody better fix cupids arrow... because

He’s playing with people’s hearts… Sigh
