Forbidden Love

Beneath the quiet moon we meet, Where shadows kiss and secrets keep. The world would never understand The way your soul completes my hand. Your name’s a prayer I dare not speak, A vow that makes the strong go weak. We hide our hearts from prying eyes, Two guilty stars in borrowed skies. Each stolen glance, each trembling touch, A sin — and yet, it means so much. For though the cost is steep and true, I’d lose the world to stay with you. Our love’s a crime they won’t forgive, A dream that’s not allowed to live. Yet still, I’d break each sacred law To taste the lips I’m dying for. So here, where darkness guards our flame, We speak of love, but not its name. And though the dawn may tear apart This fragile bond — you hold my heart.
