How can love be such a sin?

by Emma   Dec 11, 2004


How can this love be such a sin?
When this feeling come so deep from within.

We know its wrong but it feels so right,
Each longing to be together night after night.

It started as friends - like most things do,
But as time went by our love just grew.

I'd make excuses (so would you),
Just to be on the computer for an extra hour or two.

"But its all just innocent" we'd both say,
to convince ourselves not just they.

You love your wife, I love my husband,
How could we explain that this just happened?

So best to keep it locked with in,
And never to tell of this dreadful sin.

Some things are easier said than done,
We had to be honest for what had begun.

Each night locked in our separate rooms,
We'd meet together and resume

The relationship for which we longed,
Neither understanding how it was so wrong.

Our families met and we kept the facade,
To keep what we had it would be hard.

Night after night we'd meet and discuss,
Our feelings, our emotions and our lust.

In each other we both found,
A love, a friendship so profound.

To love and care with such passion,
Neither to have invited this deadly fashion.

Once together skin to skin,
Nothing else matters, why such a sin?

To touch, to kiss, to feel and caress,
Love so pure, but such a mess.

2 lives, 2 souls that never can be,
kept apart for sanity.

But what is sane about driving yourself mad,
About a love that can't be had?

The time to make a choice is nigh,
To choose for love or deny.

Deny myself the thing I crave?
The choice is hard I must be brave.

For what is right within your heart,
Is never easy, so, where do I start?

To compare the two is just not right,
Two different people, two different lights.

What's right for now or right for then,
How can I choose between my two men?

Each love unique within my life,
And for one I am a wife.

A Wife! A bond, I made a vow,
How can I break this promise now?

I know which one could give me all,
He'd be there before I'd fall.

But loves not easy, loves not fair,
To which suitor do I make a pair?

My pure love that's such a sin,
Why oh why did this begin?

I love you more than words can say,
And maybe soon we'll have our day.

You know how much you mean to me,
And in my heart you'll always be.

Each night and day I am with you,
And in your heart I know I am too.

Maybe one day I will be brave,
And I'll come to you - the one I crave

Please don't hate me,
It's hard to choose,
My sinful love I don't want to lose.
