We Are Forbidden. I Understand.

I am afraid.
I am terrified.
Fear tortures my soul, 
For love will be denied.

We are forbidden.
I understand!
But all this hurt
I can't withstand.

Can you let me love?
Is it too much to ask?
I force a smile, 
Crying under my mask.

We are forbidden.
I understand!
But do I really care
About your demand?

Every footstep is dread.
Every heartbeat is fear.
I wish for my love...
So far, yet so near.

We are forbidden.
I understand!
But our love is eternal
Outlasting times of sand.

Can you not see
That I am dying?
It shows in my eyes
Even though my voice is lying.

We are forbidden.
I understand!
When I am gone,
Know it's by your hand!

I am afraid.
I am terrified.
Fear tortures my soul, 
For love will be denied.
