Castigated

Castigated for loving you

But what else was I supposed to do,

The attraction was too hard to resist

If we deny love then why exist,

Nobody can help falling in love

To walk away would have been too tough,

So I’ll take the slings and arrows for you

I will endure the anger and abuse,

Castigated over a love so true

It’s not always possible to choose,

Whoever we decide to fall in love with

When it’s presented, you think, this is it,

The moment you’ve waited for your whole life

To deny it would just cut us like a knife,

And I couldn’t deny love if I tried.
