Forbidden Boundaries

i have not spoken
of unexpected desires
yesterday
today
tomorrow?

dare I selfishly express
a genuine interest
across forbidden boundaries
with shattering consequences
driven by the madness
of a secret
you wouldn't understand?

when the darkness passes
can we forgive my ego
for a weakness
it could not hold back?

can I be brave?
to find truth
to shrivel away
to become nothing
with your goodbye
