Forbidden

"I was not supposed to love you.
Out of a need for comfort and support,
we turned to each other for solace.
We crossed the line and paid the price.

For me, shame and fear.
Feeling dirty for loving you.
Years of alcohol and drug abuse,
of low self-esteem.

Until the day I said 'enough'!
It is time to heal.
Time to tell my story,
to set my soul free."
