Love is a forbidden song
     sung by the rebels.
The bittersweet sound
     of the voices claiming,
     "We're in love! Praise God; we're
       in love!"
Love is full of empty promises
     and eyes are stained with tears
     and glazed over as if to look like
     glass.
Promises of "I love you forever. "
     are said, but never kept.
The world has lost some
     to the treacherous thing
     called Love.
For, love is a forbidden song.
     Yet, lovers will sing on and on.
                                                     (o.f)
