The Forbidden Love

A poem about infidelity in a marriage that was already over...

~The forbidden love~

He creeps into my thoughts by day,
into my dreams at night.
Sweet desire for
The forbidden love~

When you kiss me,
I am kissing him.
When we make love,
I am making love to him.
When I'm smiling,
I'm thinking of him.
When you look at me,
I am looking back at him..
The forbidden love~

When I leave,
you sometimes follow.
The trust is shattered.
Can I blame you?
I never meant to hurt you,
Not intentionally.
I wish I could feel for you
what I feel for him...
It would make this so simple.
It wouldn't have to end.

We lost our way
You and me.
I'm not sure we
ever really found it~
Sad to say.

We have a connection
that is forever...
A beautiful daughter
So sweet and loved.

She will need us both.
Let's put her first.
She is so young~
Just a babe.
She is strong.
We taught her well.
I hope she will be OK.

I'm afraid of the pain
once I tell you
I must leave you.
but it's not for him,
The forbidden love...
it is for me~I need to be free.
You see, I never truly loved you.
Not the way it's supposed to be.
