Forbidden

I must not have what I want,

It simply cant be done.

But how-how?- can I contain this love

It forces my heart to pump

Faster

and faster still

For only one name

That I cannot say

 

But oh

Oh how I yearn-

How I need-

To leap into you arms,

To be enveloped by your warmth,

To have you hold me close…

 

But I cannot have what I want and need

Because you are not mine to have

I only wish you’d return something to me,

You have my heart

Will you ever give it back?

Mickey, this is beautiful. It has heart and soul and it's just really amazing.
Also, I like the last stanza (I'm not a poem person so... stanza, paragraph, whatever) The last two lines are just sort of heartbreaking, and it just goes really well with the story. I really enjoyed it! (:
