Say You Love My Forbidden Love Poem by cody byrne

My forbidden love

Why do I love
Why can’t I hate

Tis love that killed me
And brought me back

I can’t love her
I mustn’t love her

Yet I do

I am trapped between god’s creations

That are more beautiful
Than the blossom of good and evil

More sweet than the purest sugar
More bitter than the strongest salts

I’m in love and its killing me
I’m in love and its healing me

I’m in love and
I don’t know what to do
Or say

Do I confess that which has tortured me?
Or do I bear it like some poor beast

Oh what evil has smitten me?
With this curse of love

What good can come?
From such pain
That would have me on my
Knees before a false god

Oh what is purpose of
Such horrid pain

So beautiful
So lovely
It is and yet
There is no letting up

It continues
Undyingly
So it is that the
Last of my days be spent

That I might love you

And love her in such a way
That it should kill me
Where I stand

My heart beat
Till its blue
Much like being blue in the face

It aches of being
So much in love

It burns cold
Bloodless it bleeds

Till it has to much blood
Then It chokes and
Dies alive
And sleeps awake
It hurts

Pleasure without contact
It’s a felling queer as ugly beauty
And soft spikes

What is it?
Why do I have it?

I’m in love but I can’t love her
I’m in love but I hate it
I’m in love

With my forbidden love

I will die please don’t cry

I can’t lie anymore

Its you I want
Its you I need

Without you I bleed
You are my only need

I need to hear you
I long to feel you

Say I love you
I cant be a friend
Say I love you
This, time cant mend
Say I love you
You are my need

For you I
Bleed
Love Me
Oh Forbidden Love
