my heart skips a beat
everytime you're near
without turning away
I know you are near
the smell of your cologne
lingers
long after we've parted
you're smile
deeply imprinted
within my mind
haunts me
when I close my eyes
thoughts and feelings
race through me
forbidden
but damned if I know
how to stop them,
or alter the way
they make me feel
you're the forbidden fruit
that I learned about as a child
in Sunday School
my heart knows
you'll shatter me
into a thousand pieces
without so much as
a second thought
yet my body yearns
for your touch,
for strong arms around me
and lips pressed against mine
we both know
with each stolen smile
we are falling deeper
into forbidden terrain
not wanting to cause
broken ties
with the ones that we love
yet there is no relief from
the strain of how we feel
when we're together
before we venture
into the darkness
to share unbridled passion
I ask myself. . .
is it really worth
the price we pay?

Well this is another piece that I could just not personally connect to because it's a style that I really don't enjoy.
Nicely done, ma'am. Who can this be that stirs such thoughts in your young head?
... but this reminds me of an old Barbara Mandrell song titled, "We're Married, But Not To Each Other"... or something like that. It's a pretty song and the message is kind of similar to what you have here. Nicely done!
