Is this what they call normal?
The pale white flesh
That covers the slender frame?
The ring of darkness
That surrounds the light green eyes
And the dark black locks to match?
Is it normal to be stricken
By one you cannot have?
Yes?
Then I have opened
A new world of inner pain.
Why my heart, do you betray me so?
Do you yearn for love so much
You're willing to kill me in the process?
As I have told you before:
I cannot be with him.
It is immoral
It is impossible
It is...unreal.

Wowa, this is so good!
I love the repetition of "it is" at the end, and the words immoral, impossible and unreal really touch the nerve&Sum up what this contest is about!
Good luck

a very very powerful and strong write, your pain is expressed well indeed... the game that your heart plays with your head can be one of pure tragity and a painful journey,
Stay Safe
