when there was love.

I felt a sharp pain from deep within.
It was you who stabbed that blade deep in.
Sadly, I couldn’t find the words to say,
How much I love you, each and every day.

I never had the chance to- it was simply wrong.
So I remained in a corner, alone and forlorn.
But you had the code to the lock and chain,
Including the power to release, or detain.

In the bitter cold, I shivered in fear
That others would know from what they see or hear.
For this forbidden love I have for you,
Cannot go beyond us two.

Fortunately or not, my worry is past,
Since this love has gone, and no longer lasts.
It was born through me, and has now gone.
And together we’ll leave as dust, from bone.
