Forbidden

Lucile knew that it was wrong.
That love like this was never going to work and that if anyone found out,
Her life as she knew it would be over.
Still she carried on with what she was doing.
Still she did not heed the warnings that came to her from afar.
He was like a drug to her.
Her ecstasy, her heroin, her all.
As the days went by he consumed her completely.
Getting under her skin, making her all she could be.
Still she did not heed the signs.
No-one really understood her pain, when they took him away.
No-one understood their love.
Mother was ashamed, Father would not talk.
But still Lucile clung to their forbidden love.
It did not matter that He was her brother.
