Better together than apart
Close as two people could be
Their love a beautiful melody
A true work of art
Seeing one another once in a week
Occasionally more
A call and a knock on the door
Embrace, then away
To talk and to stay
For a meal
Impossible to believe such could be real
Then suddenly
A silence fills the air
No more words of tender care
Then words like a viper
Hitting the heart like a ******
Not from the lover
'Twas from another
Putting a stop to their days
Cunning in so many ways
Forbidden, what more could be done?
The Discord had won
In separation, yes
In full, no
Love cannot be so easily smothered
Technology is funny
So don't call them honey
When they find a way
To work through and around
The rules they thought would stay
Firm as the ground
Loopholes and favors
Strings pulled and hope strong
On the way, playing a song
Listen to your heart
And bring back that work of art
There, nervous and hopeful
Giddy yet petrified
Then, calm in an instant
Being so careful
But there's no need for caution
Realizing all is well
In this moment, no longer a living hell
Meeting and conversing
The others would be cursing
But there, in that cool night breeze
It put them in a somewhat ease
Laughter, memories so fond
Keep safe the hidden bond
Thrive, even though it is forbidden
Communication shall remain secret
From those who do not approve
They shall never forget
To the others, they shall prove
That they are truly meant to be
Start slow,
Remain so
Until the timing is right
Since time is tight
And all is rather tricky
Situation rather sticky
But survive it shall
This forbidden love.
