I Want To, But I Mustn't

I want you,
But I mustn't.
It goes against all that I've said.
I want to,
But I mustn't.
Why can't you just get out of my head?

I could do it,
But I mustn't.
Why is this so damn hard?
I would do it,
But I mustn't.
I should have stopped this at it's start.

You want to,
But we mustn't.
You're so hard to resist.
We're about to,
But we mustn't.
Not even one small kiss.

I want you,
But I mustn't.
How can I win this fight?


Hell, who am I kidding?
Let's end this war tonight.

The end of the piece is really insightful. Packs a powerful punch to a nice poem.

Loved your final line, after all the inner battle and thinking and doubts. Great work! Am off to read some more of your stuff! =D

A lost battle. You did a good job of capturing those feelings with a light approach.
