Forbidden Love

Things were great at first,
Snuggling under the trees
Just a secret spark.

No one had to know.
We had our own little world
Everything was great.

Our families found out.
Gentle hints were dropped at first...
"Stay away from them..."

We just ignored them...
We wouldn't let them end us...
We were eternal...

Yet the hints got harsh
They tried to stop our meetings...
We met anyway.

Our families were mad.
They chose to keep me locked up..
Why can't I see you?

Misery takes hold.
Depression strengthens it's grasp.
I need to see you...

You try to help me..
Yet it is to no avail.
We try to make plans...

Every attempt fails..
Are you just giving up now?
My hopes have been crushed...

There is no more light...
Only the crushing darkness...
I need to end this.

The slip of a knife.
My chests begins to leek red...
The peaceful silence...

You have the same plan.
You put poison in your food.
You die soon after...

Love is a cruel fate...
Death is the only escape.
Please just set me free...
