LIVE OR LOVE?

Im not quite sure
how this came about
but it's a love so strong
you cannot doubt.

It happened so fast
it had to be fate,
a spell was cast
and then it was too late.

She heard the sound as he
walked through the door.
He looked in her eyes
and her face he explored

She saw his smile
and was taken aback;
She knew it was real
but that faith he would lack.

He took a step her way

and stopped to realize,
he had no words to say
she brought him to a downsize.

But the love in the air
suppressed the need to speak;
a feeling so rare
it made them weak.

They neared each other
and their bodies touched
he grabbed her hands
and their bodies touched.

There way no need to fight
what they knew was coming-
a kiss so deep
you heard the birds humming.

But this love was forsaken
and their hearts were broken,
and he was awakened
like the devil had spoken.

Against his hearts will
her hand he dropped
he heard a voice
and his heart stopped.
With a tear on his face
he turned and saw
how that second of lust
had made him lose it all.

With that look he wore
she already knew it
she said "take him, he yours",
she knew she couldn't fight through it .

The way they kissed,
she knew he loved her
but that was his wife
and there was no one above her.

Yet her sadness so deep
she could not take it
an instant of passion
and she did not make it

It stopped her heart
because it tore her apart
and there was just no other way;
so she took her own life
and passed away.
