We both want so badly to break through these walls
But no, its forbidden, we might stumble and fall
But the walls slowly crumble, with the slightest touch
We never knew to expect this, this overflow of lust
For one night we stumble, but we do it together
At least we secretly know that the feelings are forever
We simply hide them for eternity, keep them a secret
A secret that burns from inside, but forever we'll keep it
Now we look back and pretend we don't feel it any more
This slow burning secret, eating away to our cores
But this burning dosn't leave once its consumed our whole beings
Instead it keeps going leaving us with more feelings
Never thought I'd ever be victim to this,
This heavy guilt, I want to relieve with a razor on my wrists
But I can't pile that on you, more guilt on my behalf
So I'll keep on pretending, I'll shrug it off with a laugh

hmm..there is no question that this is a beautifull piece of writing with strong emotions and hidden desires within it. The only thing I find is, (I do not know if you did it on purpose to create the reader to think) that why was this love forbidden in the first place and why is this person now shrugging it off and feeling guilty about it?
Emotional write none the less
thankyou for entering
All the best
