The Crimson Letters

Forbidden Love

You do not know this,

But I love you still.

A secret passion burning,

No hope to be fulfilled.

You can't understand,

My passion for you.

If I were to tell you,

Then I would be untrue.

I made a promise,

A few steps behind,

No love is mine to be entwined.

Until the time gives up its haunt,

And I shall be by horror brought,

To a scene,

You did not wait for me.

You should not at least,

Or my guilt shall never cease.

So go. Be free!

Don't bondage me.

As I am,

I am no jewel to take your hand.

A wiser one,

You deserve.

I promise never to disturb.

If you move on.

Forget my dreams.

They are nothing but dreams.
