Forbidden Love
She told me she'd love me till the end of time,
I never knew it'd be in a haste to take what's mine.
Did it really have to end the way it did?
Meeting you was the most beautifully
inconvenient mistake I've ever made,
I enjoyed all the memories made.
The moon and the stars always looked
forward to seeing me for they always
heard beautifully crafted romantic stories,
All derived from exquisite experiences.
Don't be surprised one day when the moon
calls you by name, they enjoyed storytime.
The sun always considered you as competition,
Always trying to surpass you but couldn't glow
Read the rest of the poem Show less
brighter than you.. maybe the diamond could compete,
She secretly admires you and looks up to you.
I've wondered if we still in love...
'cause if the feeling is mutual then
we shouldn't have ended it.
Maybe we tried ripping what we didn't sow,
Or we fell fast in love, in a haste so
thrilling we forgot to nurture it and let it
grow naturally till it could bind us together.
All I ever wanted was to grow old with you,
Instead, obliviously we grew apart till we
couldn't do anything about it.
All I'm left with is a delusional imagination,
A broken heart endlessly rhyming and painting
pictures for a living, funny enough I love it.
I resorted to pen and paper
to empty my mind
Instead of fighting a losing battle
trying to make you mine.
