Min Without An E


By alarminglytired

I am never going to love you. 
It is a rebellion whispered in the dark; 
an unholy desire that clings to my soul. 
An act of defiance against the heavens above. 

But when I see you with that lopsided grin, 
it transports me into a dream, a reality in which  I am not allowed to
exist. Yet my heart trembles at the thought of holding you close, for I
have been taught that love like this 
shrouds my soul in blasphemy. 

The weight of my faith binds me in chains, 
each glance, each brush of skin, 
a reminder of the cross I bear. 
The whispers of angels turn into mocking echoes 
as I pray for absolution, for a way back home. 

Why can’t you see 
how you slip through my defenses so easily? 
No matter how fervently I pray,
you linger, a sacrilegious thought in my mind. 

I live in a world where loving you is a sin I dare not confess, 
and my heart aches like a sacrificial lamb, 
caught in a storm of desire and dread, 
as I tread the fine line between heaven and damnation. 

My heart is a battleground 
where devotion wrestles with despair, 
and each pulse is a prayer laced with anguish. 

For the love I crave is a curse in disguise, 
a divine comedy played out in shadows, 
and I am but a sinner, 
lost in the depths of my yearning for you.
