Forbidden Love

I met an empty claypot

a gaping hole in his heart

so I took my wet terra

cotta, ripped my soul apart

​

I begged to let me heal him

so he let me in at first

cracks embedded his wounded 

frame, he knew his fate was cursed

​

I struggled to reach inside

for his clay was hard to bend

his walls surfaced faster each

time, his heart was tough to mend

​

his tragic past frightened him

he scavenged for a reason

to end the only love he

had felt truly at peace in

​

he vowed he was a steel vessel

bravely demanded I depart

thus ending ‘us’ and our love story

by shattering my ceramic heart
