Forbidden love

It was exciting
and wonderful
and yet
dangerous
and destructive;
a thrilling
roller-coaster
of emotions.
that almost ruined
us both.
I am so relieved
to be free
now I've blocked
you out of all
but a small space
in my heart
and memory.
Kindly stay
behind that wall
thinking fondly
of me,
but never ever
try to remove
the bricks.
They grow more solid
over time you know,
and I prefer it that way.
