Infinitely Forbidden

It is on the surface
so obvious and visible

I could easily fall in love with you
if I let me
But I don't
cause I can't
though I want to,
it is so forbidden

This life I live
is not my own
it has been given away
bartered and parcelled out
a peace offering
a cloth bandage
applied to reunite and
distilled as an eternal plea

But, oh how I want to let me go
relax and lay safely in your arms
feel the light press of your fingertips
against my skin
yield to your firm masculinity
beneath my palms

I could easily fall in love with you
if I let me
but I won't
cause I can't
and although I sincerely yearn to
it is infinitely forbidden
