Forbidden Love

Wanting to lead one's own life but cannot

Self pressuring to find personal path

In a subversive act Love is then brought

While hoping to prevent enemy's wrath

Two people with two sides in one affair

Push away their families' deep disputes

Secret troublesome Love they are aware

Neglect the grudges of their household roots

A dark secret is held in those most close

Grave consequences threaten to break free

One trying to be better proudly rose

Daring to ruin the family tree

Feeling Complete while listening to heart

The whole world may threaten to break apart

Author Notes: I wrote this after reading Son of The Mob, by Gordon Korman. I'd recommend that book to people who enjoy Shakespeare's story, Romeo and Juliet, as both plots are very closely related. The type of poem this is is called iambic pentameter. Shakespeare wrote a lot with this pattern, and if I did it right, when read, it should sound like a heartbeat. I hope you enjoyed reading it! :)
