Your love is like forbidden fruit <br />Never to own, my love's pursuit. <br />With society as my cruel mistress <br />In formality my heart must dress. <br /> <br />She says that we can never be <br />For reasons only she can see. <br />If not for her you'd be on my arm <br />never allowed to come to harm. <br /> <br />And now as I bow my head <br />My heart feels like it's made of lead <br />I want to show you how I care <br />But I'm not sure if I can dare <br /> <br />To act against unwritten laws <br />Fight oppression for my cause <br />To liberate my heart for you <br />I only wish I knew what to do<br /><br />Alexander Steen Stewart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forbidden-fruit-20/
