Undeniable

why should i be so weak
to yearn for one...
not only forbidden,
but scorned.
hated.
deceived.
to whom do i owe my unrest
to see your face in my mind
to remember
my only chance
pushed aside
now belonging to another
another to hold
to love
to cherish.
To whom so I ask a second chance...
to have, only
what is mine.
tempted...
yet forgotten.
