Forbidden Fruit

There she goes
Curious eyes follow
It is As If
She is been cursed
Her heart smiles
At them innocently
They pretend to smile back
The truth hurts

Whispers converse
Rumors out numbered
They don’t realize
Truth aint the truth
Until it is seen
With the eye
Rationalized by the mind
And Not just heard

None amongst them
Have the courage
To give affection
let alone call them selves
Her true friend
Their hearts always fear
The stalker is near
She will remain
His forbidden fruit forever

He torments her each day
Words in Blood say
He will unleash
Her love for him
She is his
For the taking
He sets his spies
On her words and actions
They pry
There is no escaping
From the devil

Locked in her loneliness
Drowning in unhappiness
She questions herself
If this is love
Then why does she
Feel so hollow
She longs for the day
Where she can fly away
Be a free bird
Free from loneliness and sorrow
