Forbidden

This love is forbidden,
A foolish plight of fantasy.
I never thought I would fall for you,
We started as friends,
And then I began trusting you.
I told you my stories,
You would smile and say 'Go on'.
I would whisper the truths of my home,
And you would nod and never rush me.
You told me your secrets,
And I finally gave you the worse one of all.
I should you my tiny little cuts,
And you saw me through my darkest moments.
We were happy.
We fought beside each other,
Conquering demons and calming the storm.
We made peace with our pasts,
And made plans to step away into the future.
And then he came along and stole your heart,
Whispering promises that turned mine to rust.
What good am I?
You made me feel understood,
But really-
I am broken.
Lost.
Helpless.
He took you away,
And made you open your eyes to a whole other world of normalcy.
Where no one cut,
Where no one found the satisfaction of watching the blood,
And no one had to hide away from the yelling.
I watched you grin,
And laugh.
I waited in the shadows,
And I know why you are better with him.
Because you are a girl, and he is a boy.
You deserve this normalcy,
Not to be tied down to another girl.
