Forbidden Fruit

Midnight drips from the ceiling, shadows learn my name
Every step closer feels like walking into flame
You don’t touch me, but the room already knows
We’re standing on a fault line, dressed in self-control


I read the warning signs written in your breath
Every pause between us tastes like theft


The silver in the blue of your eyes hold me like a chain around my soul forcing me down to my knees.
I try to look away but the dark won’t let me leave
Your accent like a serpent in my ear, edging me to the forbidden fruit that I cannot deny.
Say it slow again, ruin me politely


We speak in glances, conversations made of heat
Every almost-touch is a secret we repeat
Your smile is a loaded gun dressed up as grace
I feel the danger blooming when you say my name


I know the rules, I helped you write them down
But rules look weak when the lights go out


The silver in the blue of your eyes hold me like a chain around my soul forcing me down to my knees.
I’m praying to a sin I don’t believe
Your accent like a serpent in my ear, edging me to the forbidden fruit that I cannot deny.
Every warning feels like an alibi


The silent agreement that the fire will engulf us should we get too close but the heat is undeniably tempting
We don’t say it out loud, we don’t have to confess it
Your shadow leans into mine, that’s how the line gets crossed
If we burn, we burn beautifully lost


Hands still, hearts reckless
Breath caught, no exits
If this is wrong, let it be slow
Let the ache be the thing we never let go


The silver and blue, I’m already bound
Every truth I swore shakes when you’re around
Serpent tongue promises I won’t survive
But I’d rather fall than never try


When the morning comes, we’ll pretend we’re clean
But tonight lives forever in between
