Forbidden Fruit

Contributor: Sajan Goyal

Wise men say opposites attract,
fools fall for the forbidden fruit.
You and I are a pair, that’s a fact
But perhaps we are of the latter.

“Look to her”, I am told.
For whom the bell tolls.
But when I look to you,
I hope to find another.

Now I can’t sleep at night,
Thinking about you.
We have come to an end,
I question if I am your lover.

Keep this poem close,
For your eyes only
I think we should cut us short.
