The thing that breaks

 "It ain't right", "It's forbidden"
That's what's said, but they don't realize
that those who say "no", are the ones who want "yes!";
That most people crave stuff that they wish they could forget about.

But it's not as simple, as easy.
Especially when that thing is there when you are breathing,
in front of your eyes, embedded in each thought,
clinging to your skin as each morning sun comes up.

And then you find yourself dreaming while awake.
Repeating the mistake of fantasizing instead of
taking the time, to tell the truth of what you feel.
Feeling that by doing so you'll push away what's real.
