I know I shouldn't want him
I know this in my head
taboos of relation, of relatives
go spinning through my head
but then he looks at me
and gives me that evil grin
and I hope to god,
I PRAY to God,
he won't touch me,
because once he does,
my sanity wastes away to nothing
I try and pretend I abhor him,
that he's nothing at all to me,
but the real truth is,
I'm left wondering how I'll live
without him
every time he leaves
and it begs the question strongly
forever in my mind
Have I gone insane?
Or am I addicted to
this interlude of illusion?

Nature's law of attraction does not always fall in line with the law of society. You've done a good job of painting the picture here.
Thank you for entering and best of luck.
