Forbidden Fruit

Tis the beginning of a new day

Yet tis the end, I suppose they say

What can I do, but watch it all disappear?

What can I think, with all that I hear?

All their opinions invade my head

Shall it confuse me until I'm dead?

Or shall it all fade from my mind?

Oh, if only the world were so kind

So shall I in anger slam the door?

Avow to be swept away no more

Assert every word we breathed, we lied

Shall my emotions I simply try to hide?

Or shall I daydream and never move on?

Forever insisting you're not really gone

Shall I resign myself to one fate?

Only accept what's been put on my plate

I could go on, but, alas, it's all moot

For I am only forbidden fruit

And what are you - what be thy name?

Made from ice, and I am flame

Get too close and you'll only melt

How could you not, with all that we felt?

Now you will freeze into something new

Best of luck finding a mold to suit you

Careful now, for I know I'm fire -

How shall you ever be happy when you push back what you desire?

And I shall blaze and smolder on

Wondering at all we've forgone

My thoughts like sparks dancing overhead

Spurred on by thoughtless flames that we fed

Knowing all along that water and fire

Are not something the other ought to desire

Though, in truth, I doubt you ought to be cold

You shan't find your true breadth inside of a mold

But, like roses wither, resolve fades away

Even those forged in fire can't always stay

Yet here I am, talking to you still

Why do I bother?  You'll do what you will

So shall you resolve to slam the door?

Let me burn you up no more

Shall you daydream and never move on?

Forever hoping what we had isn't gone

I could go on, but you know it's all moot

For I am only forbidden fruit
