‘I Want The One I Can’t Have…’

You had me at goodbye

But lost me at hello

Forbidden

If only I could

If only you would

But we both know it couldn’t

Come to any good

It’s not you

It’s not me

It’s just the way

It has to be

Do you want to?

Yes.

Will we?

No.

I
have
tried to
move on

My
feelings
for you
to shelve

But
when
push
comes to
shove

I just
can’t
help
myself

What
happens
when the
laughter
stops

When
that
penny
finally
drops

When we
wake up
tomorrow
with a
raging
hangover

And that
stomach
churning
guilt
takes
over

Come
closer,
he
said,

I want
to see
your
face.

Stay
away,
she
said,

I daren’t
risk
another
embrace.

Why oh
why can’t
you write
such
poetry
for me?

For our
love is
forbidden
and so
could
never be!
