We are cousins Related by blood Growing up Together Like Siblings. But we are cousins And cousins don't get jealous Cousins don't cry When the other Loves another. However we are cousins And everything is wrong You crave for the wrong And I dread the fulfillment From the sins We are Committing. "We are cousins, right?" You say sweetly to me We lay in bed together Hands intertwined Under the darkness And the comfort Of the thick blanket. I say nothing Uncurling my fingers from yours I turn to Face away And shut my eyes. It was dark It was quiet Yet it felt so bright So noisy Under the uncomfortable Silence. You say nothing to me And wrap your arms around me. I flinch. A sweet whisper Flows into my ears Sweeter than any other Simple words Simple meanings Time passes New meanings. Wrong meanings. The hidden bitterness Starts to show I shake Uncontrollably I had no words to say To the words you had We are cousins Relishing in our sins. You, who wanted this to go on I, who wanted this to all end. You, whom I cared for so much because I watched you grow. I, whom you needed wrongly and mistakingly. "I love you."

Loosely based off a real story to me. It's not this dramatic though, but it happened. It happened once and I don't want it to happen again.
